En France

,

Coming to the end of a holiday in the Vendee region of France. Animal highlights include enormous jellyfish, a home-loving centipede (Haplophilus subterraneus), Hummingbird hawk moths (Macroglossum stellatarum) and a Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) at La Tranche sur Mer. I also saw a High brown fritillary (Argynnis adippe) and a male Oak eggar moth (Lasiocampa quercus) at Port St Pere, as well as an introduced North American Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) by the lake at Pont L'Eveque.
