I am not a big fan of slugs, but these are fascinating…….well a bit !
they are about 10cm (4”)long and the black one has a wavy ridge down its back, we have had so much rain they are out munching the cherries……
For the new terrace the cherry tree has to be cut back again, poor thing…..
A new addition to our menagerie ….Eddy the lizard.
here he is in the toad hole…….must be timeshare !
haven’t seen the second one from this picture since so presume he was the male 
)
Big black beetle……
This is a glow worm , its the ONLY one we saw this year……and this was taken in the dark……normally all you see is a small greenish light.
All things bright and beautiful hey ?
I am hoping to include a video of this at the end of this post….it a Narrow (or thread) waisted wasps nest…she started building it behind a beam in our bedroom, and stopped when she had made 13 “cells” a good name as each one will contain a stunned insect for her egg to feed on when it hatches. The darker bits are still wet, and she works it like a little potter, she then covered the whole 13 cells with another layer of mud for good luck !
For video click here !
As you will see she is very noisy too )
