    Chafer grub?
    Yeah, that looks to be it. Came across it whilst digging. I just covered it back up with soil but sounds like i should have squashed it

    Promising results so far @Fire
    What lens did you go for in the end?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 EF-S USM Lens.
    Why does 'promising' feel like the review of a year one English lit teacher?

    Behold what years of critical education does to a person. My wife says she already feels sorry for our kids when in the future they bring home a drawing from nursery school and I sit them down and force them to defend their work  :#  I forget that normal people aren't overjoyed with faint praise.

    I'm just happy to have the lens.

    I bet, I'd love a lens like that B)
    I finally found a mint moth in the garden today but the poor guy is so bald it's hardly recognisable as a mint moth anymore. All those little coloured hairs should form a continuous pattern of maroon and gold.

    Keeping on theme, take a look at the state on this poor Yellow Shell moth :(  Hopefully he/she has seen to the next generation by now though. The caterpillars eat sorrel and we have plenty of that here. This is 50th moth species from the garden now :)
