Some recent mixed bug shots from the garden

Fruit flies on melon peel

Large Ichneumon wasp - Amblyteles sp.

Honey bee rescued from the pond

My official car cleaner - a bagmoth caterpillar - It either eats what it finds or sticks it on it's shell.

Speckled bush cricket nymph on mollis azalea flower


Aestevating maple leaf aphids. These stay like this with no growth until Aug/Sep.Periphyllus aceris

Another patch with adults attending.

A very nice set, especially the Amblyteles. Everyone seems to refer UK ones to A. armatorius.
