Seems a very good year for Wasp spider in North Dorset. Some whoppers about and the first time I have seen the huge egg sack that they make.

Opening up this account with today's encounter - an immaculate Brown hairstreak @ Ryewater Nursery in North Dorset. Above average egg count for this species at this site last winter - how well will they fly this summer?
