Brian,

Excellent, especially the Flower Bee.

It's interesting to see what you get on your Ground Elder. We have quite a lot but I don't recall seeing any insect worth photographing on it.

I have just seen a Bumble Bee on the Privet flowers, but the above applies.

Thanks Harold.
The ground elder is in my neighbour's garden, They are not gardeners and there isn't much else flowering there.
