I have no idea what species of fungus these are, but they are beautiful.

I see you. This Roe deer allowed me to get relatively close, close enough to capture its lovely facial markings. @nlandnp.bsky.social #deer #mammal #ukwildlife #nature

I was pleased to see this Golden-bloomed grey longhorn beetle in #Northumberland considering their scarcity in the North East of England. @nlandnp.bsky.social @nnprangers.bsky.social #beetle #nature

Two banded long horn beetle. For a long horn it has relatively short antenna. #northumberland #beetle #natureUK

Wow! Look at this for a caterpillar 🤩 Adult Mullein moths are often overlooked but the caterpillars are much easier to spot. @northumberland.bsky.social @nnprangers.bsky.social #moth #nature #wildlife

Cinnamon Bug. A new species for me. This species has been moving northwards in the UK. I saw this one in #Northumberland @northumberland.bsky.social @nnprangers.bsky.social #30dayswild #bugs

Wood Anemone. For #30dayswild I had a woodland walk, I appreciated the sounds, sights, and smells.

I thought I would kick off #30dayswild by going wild swimming in the lovely Breamish Valley, Northumberland.

I know spiders aren't everyone's 'thing' but you have to admit, the Nursery-web spider is an attractive species. @britishspiders.bsky.social #spiders #wildlife #nature

I had an encounter with this lovely Large Pine Weevil today. Large Pine Weevils feed on living bark. This can damage young trees and prevent them from growing, which is why many regard them as a pest. #insects #nature #weevil ##sonyrx10 #Northumberland

I sat in a bird hide and got way too distracted by the spider inhabitants. Does this happen to anyone else? I believe this is a Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) @britishspiders.bsky.social @durhamwildlife.bsky.social #derwentreservoir #spiders #wildlife

The wood ants are back. Lots and lots of ants.... they are fascinating creatures with highly organised colonies. They are also a key stone species and play an important role in woodland habitats. #ants #spring #sonyrx10 #Northumberland

I believe this is an Old Lady moth caterpillar. It just looks brown until you zoom in and see the most beautiful iridescent red spots. @cambsmoths.bsky.social #mothUK #moth #natureUK #nature
