Some buggy shots from the garden.
Brian v.
plant bug about 5mm long sucking up some sugar/honey spray on a camelia leaf
Bluebottle fly suction power
Odd coloured woodlouse in the grass most of the ones I see are dark grey.
Plant hopper about 3mm body length - not seen this one before.
Rather plump hoverfly- think it's Didea sp.
Chalcid wasp around 2.5mm long with mites
Crop from above shot with more detail and 2 of the mites. The mites are about 0.15mm long

Quite right re the fly, was slightly annoyed about that but thought it still made a good picture.
The mites on the wasp are thought to be phoretic rather than parasitic.
