Our catapillars have finally pupaeted, their cocoons are a dull green colour with gorgeous little gold flecks, not long now til we can set them free as butterflies and they will hopefully breed a whole colony in the wild.
Which brings me to my next point, we have found a nest of little bumble bees in the compost bin who have built a home for themselves out of teabag papers, which is lovely but means we will have to buy a new compost bin as we cannot disturb the little ones. It also means we will have a huge bees nest next to our house in a few months, although all bumble bees die in the autumn to make way for the new ones.
