Crithmum maritimum

04/09/19 - I also found this little fella in amongst the stems 😄 - I think it’s a swallowtail caterpillar 🐛 but not fully sure, he looked quite happy munching away! #caterpillar #swallowtailcaterpillar #wildlifewednesday #crithmum #crithmum-maritimum #crithmummaritimum #rocksamphire #holidayfind #notmygarden #greece 🇬🇷 #seafennel

They are pretty little creatures, even if they are destructive 😐

Hello 🐛 🐛🌿🌿

Yup, that is a #Swallowtail

That’s just like the emoji......🐛🐛🐛🐛👌🏼

Yes, I try to tolerate them when I’m back home Kerry, but sometimes there are too many though and so I know what you mean - take the sawfly larvae as an example 🙈 @kez001uk

Thanks @staciegokhan 😂👍🏼

😄👏🏼👏🏼 oh yes, I think he must have been the inspiration 😉👍🏼 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

😄🐛🐛 @QT

Thanks Cyndi 😊, handsome little thing 👍🏼 @cyndi

@richard.spicer.7906 definitely no softly softly approach with sawfly caterpillars. They’re just horrible 😣😡

04/09/19 - Afternoon 👋🏼 - I found out my exam results came out today, and now I have a dilemma whether to check them online or wait till I get home 🤷🏼‍♂️ - so to take my mind off it a bit I went for another wander on the wild side and came across this large umbellifer in the middle of the coastal rocks. I think it’s Crithmum maritimum, which is apparently native to parts of the Mediterranean - it was covered in pollinators too 🦋🐝🐜 👌🏼

So that distracted me for a couple of hours..... shall I do it and get it over with? Or wait 🤷🏼‍♂️😱🙈...... #crithmum #crithmummaritimum #crithmum-maritimum #rocksamphire #notmygarden #holidayfind #greece 🇬🇷 #seafennel

Be brave ...I’m sure you’ve smashed it Rich 👍🏻🤞

Do it! I’m sure they’ll be great and then you can celebrate. if they’re not and you wait til you get home you’ll have the double hump cause you’ll have holiday blues!

You’ll never rest until you find out Richard ......🤞🏼good luck
