Some bugs in our Carignan vineyard
The vineyard is a busy with bugs at the moments. Mercifully none that are harmful to the grapes. These photos were taken yesterday in our Carignan vineyard.
This elegant fella is difficult to spot. First time I’ve seen one of these this year.

Cicadas are everywhere at the moment. Dive-bombing their way through the vineyard and making a racket. The sound of the mediterranean.

Ephippiggers are very striking. This one is very green but they also come with black stripes and look like humbugs.

The ubiquitous snail. More in our garden than in the vineyard.
