Found by the eagle eyes of my daughter on our first BeeWalk of the year, this specimen was found on an old pathway, so ther's every chance it was simply trodden on by one of the many dog walkers. However, its body was in good condition so perhaps it was a case of starvation, as not many of the nectar giving plants have even started to grow on Lowestoft North Denes.
Hopefully we won't find too many more like this one.
Sadly, this one didn't make it. |
