Sorry this is a little 'serial killer' esque but while I was out today I watched a fairly gruesome encounter between a wasp and a daddy long legs. The wasp had it pinned down and took off its legs one by one before getting down to business. You can see the discarded legs around the scene after it bit them off in the first pic. Nature can be quite brutal at times. Tbh I felt a little queasy and I'm a big nature lover but hey. The circle of life and all that...

An unbelievably humid day today. Butterflies aplenty - especially the Holly Blue but sadly they're so active I couldn't get a decent picture of one. This Small Tortoiseshell was far more obliging...

Spent the afternoon wandering the grounds of Byland Abbey. A very peaceful place if a little blustery today...
