De #kezendekevers zijn klein wilgenhaantjes (Galerucella lineola) die blijkbaar interessant zijn voor het lang griendhaantje (Phratora vulgatissima) en de mijt op het dekschild. Leuk! 😃

Population explosion of Phratora vulgatissima at FIlsham Reedbed turning sallow scrub brown. The Symmorphus bifasciatus population should be doing well this year, preys on Phratora vulgatissima larvae and nests in reed stems and cigar galls. The wasp can be easy to find by sweeping reed.
