Under & Around the Plant Pots

Messing about with my new toy, a cheap clip on macro lens for the phone, I found a few new creatures that I’d somehow failed to record previously. The Southern Pill Woodlouse is found in the south-west of England (the rounder Common Pill Woodlouse is more widely distributed), Potworms are small translucent worms common under plant pots and in compost, and last-season’s hollyhock leaves are covered in these red/brown fungus spots from Hollyhock Rust.
