Mixed recent bug shots from the garden. Well apart from the mossie shot which was caught hiding under the toilet seat- could have been nasty !

Beautiful shots! Hoverfly is my favorite. I didn't even know 2mm-long wasps existed.

Thanks JPC
There are thousands of species of parasitoid wasps that are very small in the range 0.5mm to 5mm long.
