Half naked Tree and the beetles are back

After I nipped to subway at the esso garage to get myself a sub not toasted, and full of fresh salady goodness,  I noticed this tree showing its bare underparts.
I thought it was quite unusual,  I asked a passerby if she knows why this tree is like this.
She told me some men removed the bark because the tree is infected by something and this is what they needed to do.
as you can see the tree has been marked or tagged. 
Anyway I proceeded to Skegness beach to find a spot in one of the side shelters so I can enjoy my sandwich without the southern breeze in my face.
I notice that some tiny beetles landing on my arms just like my blog that I wrote 10 years and 10 days ago.
The image from back then doesn't really show the true extent of how many there were back then.
So if you plan on having a picnic, it maybe best if you take a popup beach hut to eat inside. 
Also I noticed the tiny black wasps on the hunt for these little bugs.
So don't mind them, they are completely harmless to us.
The black bugs are attracted to bright colours and pale skin when light rebounds of us.
I am being invaded by these bugs as I write this blog. It's been very cloudy all day 
But the sun is starting to break through from the westerly direction. 
So it looks like a nice end of the day.

This is normally the time of year when I look forward to helping baby spiders.
At the front of pier down next to the sand is where ya can find thousands of baby spiders. I  like to watch them close up as they climb up my hand to the tip of my pointing finger and lift up their abdomen and inject silk into the air to catch the wind. Sometimes they anchor them selves to my finger tip to fly like a kite until the wind goes where the spider wants to go.
Then it's off, using its legs to manoeuvre the winds and gliding exactly where it intends to go.
This is when a baby spider becomes a Flyder.
I will try get some images that o taken few years ago and add them here. 
So please follow my blog if you want to see them
