Another back garden safari this afternoon and a great start with 2 Painted Lady's on the Valerian and Clematis. A few bees about with Honey Bees, Red-tailed Bumblebee and Common Carder.
Overhead a few "screaming" Swifts.
Here are a few images from this afternoon.
A Painted Lady on the Valerian
And another "Lady" on the Clematis.
I'm not 100% sure which species of pug moth this is. Possibly a Grey Pug, Eupithecia subfuscata
Honey Bee
Common Carder
If I've got this right this is a Sand Wasp - Ectemnius sexcinctus
One of the Syrphus hoverflies.
This is an Eupeodes luniger and a very common hoverfly along the south coast.
And here it is in flight.
Possibly one of the Ichneumon wasps, but as to which one I have no idea.
A male Swollen-thighed Beetle and...............
...........this is the female minus the swollen thighs.
