| Fairy-ring Longhorn Beetle, Pseudovadonia livida, on Lady's Bedstraw, Galium verum. Keston Common, 29 June 2011. |
Two more photos from earlier in the year. Lady's Bedstraw (apparently it serves as bedding to only one lady) grows freely among the grass in this area, adding a pleasant fresh yellow to the scene. The photo below, from a neighbouring common, shows it among grasses, with Red Clover and Ribwort Plantain also visible. There are always several, sometimes many, plant species among uncultivated grass; this grass is cut once a year, in autumn.
The Fairy-ring Longhorn Beetle is common, and is often found on flowers.
