Keep an eye out for these little red-and-black leafhoppers — easy to mistake for ladybirds at first glance, often spotted on leaves or stems. Worth a closer look if you’re out walking in the park .

If you’ve swallowed a black fly while out walking in the park today it was probably one of these 👇 a St Mark’s fly
Good news: they don’t bite
They’re named after St Mark’s Day (25th April), when they make their annual, slightly chaotic appearance, #StMarksFly #HawthornFly
