Cornwall Butterfly Conservation volunteers had a rather sodden time of it on Bodmin Moor today. We were planting Common Dog Violets to increase the breeding habitat along a new corridor connecting two colonies of Pearl-bordered Fritillaries. At least they've had a good watering in!

Carphurus sp.
This soft-wing flower beetle was an interesting visitor to our moth light. I haven’t yet been able to determine what species this one is but it appears to be a WA specific species.
This genus is found in Australia & PNG
