That's it Keith, thanks. It is obviously a common species - one of those nondescript bugs that one ignores. Unless they are present in numbers such as this. ...
Okay, so my next question. After a survey of the internet and limited literature, I can find very little information on *numbers* of this species, as opposed...
Ok, insect lovers, a couple of shots taken today. First a pair of Black Darters in cop (or "getting jiggy" as Susie would have it). They were repeately flying...
Hi Nigel Given its situation and time of year I would suggest Ruby Tiger (Phragmatobia fuliginosa). They tend to sunbathe at the time of year before...
Ian, as you suggest, it is difficult to tell from the photo. British Thaumatomyia are distinguished from Chlorops in having a flattened top surface to the...
Hi Nigel Sounds the right size for Ruby Tiger. Try Reg Fry's excellent site at http://www.ukleps.btinternet.co.uk/ I think Reg has all the instars of Ruby...
Sorry no photo of this; it disappeared before I could get the camera to it. In my moth trap this morning was a fly, similar to a Chironomid I'd guess. The main...
I've put some photos in the files section in a folder called Fogey's Garden Photos. They were taken in late July, August and September in Plymouth.I'm sorry...
I've put some photos in the group Files section in a folder called Fogey's Garden Photos. I'm sorry there's so many at once, but I've been working up to...
I'm not going to try and be clever but the first one looks like an Eristalis Drone Fly. I think most of them are too fuzzy for precise ID's I spotted an...
Thanks for your suggestions, Ray and Philippe. I'm sorry if the photos are a bit blurry - my kit isn't all that wonderful, or I don't use it properly. I...
Hi Ammophila pubescens is very restricted in UK... it is entirely on heathland habitats in Surrey and the Hampshire/Poole basin. A. sabulosa is more...
THe first is an Eristalis hoverfly. Bombus lapidarius is ok. The black and red wasp in an Ammophila sp. (one of two), a solitary wasp. Regards Matt Joe Higman...
That, plus the apparent metallic blue sheen on the rear part of the abdomen can probably make us rather confident that it is sabulosa indeed. Philippe ... ...

Dear Joe, I have seen your e-mail and would like to look at the garden photos. Sadly I am not very familiar with all this and don't know where to look to find...

Has anyone ever witnessed the following, which I saw today. Pentatoma rufipes, the forest bug, copulating, with the female feeding off a medium sized green...
This photograph was taken in my garden in Devon at the beginning of August. I am reasonably certain that it is Volucella zonaria. It was about 2cm. long and I...

Hello, I've uploaded a picture of Aeshna grandis (hopefully) to the Photos/Insects file. Two points - I don;t see what else this could be but my Odonata book...
Actually, I couldn't upload because the photos section is practically full ... I've probably said this before, without response, but shouldn't there be some...
Feeling slightly guilty I thought I would delete the three pictures I have on this group. I was able to remove 1 but the other 2 have lost the ability to be...
