Nettle drawn at Newmillerdam yesterday. The rolled leaf reminded me of the Naturalists’ Handbook, Insects on Nettles. I might take a closer look.

Micro Forest
A micro-hike around the arboretum and conifer plantations at Newmillerdam this morning. I got a surprise when I saw a tiny invertebrate trundling by as I focussed on algae on a tree trunk. I couldn’t see it at all with the naked eye but it no doubt ran for cover from the glaring light of the eight LEDs of my mobile microscope.
