Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

It's National Insect Week! How are the insects in Harringay doing?

I can't believe I nearly missed it!

National Insect Week encourages people of all ages to learn more about insects. Every two years, the Royal Entomological Society organises the week, supported by a large number of partner organisations with interests in the science, natural history and conservation of insects.

Over one million species of insects have been described and named worldwide. There are more than 24,000 species in the UK alone and we can find insects in almost every habitat. They can be pollinators, predators, pests, parasites and prey and their study is an important part of conservation, food production, medicine and ecology.

Here's my fuzzy picture of a bee in the beepub

Anyone got any unusual insect spots? Or maybe you've noticed some usual visitors who aren't around this year?

Spiders are certainly spinning crazy everywhere lately, they & their sticky webs are all over the neighbourhood.

I second that, spiders going nuts at the moment compared to previous years.

See Hugh's (and my) post about unusual butterflies.
