It's chucking it down, but still...

Paul Iddon · 30 Dec 2021

Today, spotted this Camera-wetticus flashsoaked-ii globby on the fence It was (is still) bucketing down and I couldn't manage any better than these in the conditions...

It’s Dicyrtomina saundersi...

It was just drizzle to begin with, but got heavier quickly, so I had to abandon the hunt...

There is rubber seals on it, but as to surviving a period of say 5 or 10 minutes, I wouldn't want to risk it.
