Unusual behaviour of P.E.'s at Chiddingfold
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2018 6:22 am
This year has been unprecedented in the woods at Chiddingfold.Most of the rides have had a new aggregate rolled in and this is obviously rich in minerals.As things have become very hot,the P.E.'s have appeared in large numbers and started attacking the surface and even the stones with their probosci.They have in the majority avoided baited areas or dog poo's.It is probably a longer job to extract the mineral as some have remained with closed wings for up to an hour.
I think that as the surface-like scalpings or railway aggregate-has heated up,it has started giving off a "vapour" that has attracted P.E.'s from a wider area than usual.I even saw them with the proboscis searching a stone.
What do you think?
