Original Hedgerow, leg 2.

 

Persistent heavy rain.

A Tachinid which is rather smaller than usual. Perhaps 12mm long.

    

 

One of the Soldier Flies - Chloromyia formosa.

 

A black capsid on Bramble.

 

An exploring Ichneumonid. All crevices that might contain a hidden caterpillar are examined. Note that one antenna is active: the other is extended.

 

Philaneus spumaria froghopper nymph, presumably just emerged from the Cuckoo Spit.

 

A scarce enough shot of a Honeybee.

 

A nice little scaling shot. The micromoth Celypha lacunana (left) and yet another colour form of the froghopper Philaneus spumarius.

Today was hot and humid: ideal for flying ants. This one was found on my car. I now realise why they are sometimes known to bite.

     

An early dipterous mine on Angelica.
