Halictid Bee (I think) and other bugs from the garden.

Sweat Bee? It was quite a bit larger than the normal sweat bees we get in our garden. Think it's from the Halictidae family. Has a little white "nose".








Bit soft on the eyes but this one is definitely a sweat bee - it was on the potentilla which is the give away



Plant Bug?



Gnat or similar?

Very nice. Your gnat is a dance fly

Cheers Phil. Appreciated. Ps All of these were taken in the garden so although I didn't get out further afield, not a lost day

Lovely series of captures Ian.
Not certain what species your sweat bees are but the first 3 are all males (long antennae and no brush on the hind leg).

Cheers Brian, SB.

I need to have a scout around the Internet for an ID on the first shots. It was also on the sedum. I noticed it would fly away over the gardens but it always seemed to come back. I'm sure it's the same one as it's the only one I've ever seen and had there been others, something tells me I'd have had more than one on the Sedum

Superb series Ian, well captured mate!
