Wakeham

In the back garden today 2 Painted Lady's on the Buddleia. Also a Small White and a Large White.

Lots of bees on the Lavender, Buddleia and Sunflowers with the 3 main species being Red-tailed Bumblebee, White-tailed Bumblebee and Honey Bee. Also seen probably the smallest bee I have ever encountered.

Also a Common Green Shieldbug 3rd instar nymph on one of the unripe tomatoes.

Here are a few images.

And one of the smallest bees I think I have ever seen. One of the many Sweat Bee species I guess.
