It was fascinating to see Wood Ants with Pterocomma sp aphids (I think!), & also hoverfly larvae, which were devouring them, but the ants were very passive with them, so presumably pheromones were being used! Anyone know the hoverfly species please? On Salix sp, Shropshire #Ants #Aphids #Hoverflies

My first Orange Ladybird, I had searched and searched over the years with no luck, then Dave found this beauty in the garden it had been attracted to the Moth Light, made my day. A little small for my camera but got a record shot and I'm just happy to of seen one 🙂 #ladybirds #insects #bugs

Orange Ladybird Halyzia sedecimguttata (Nuneaton 21/6/25) #Bugs #Ladybirds

European Wool-carder Bee These wonderful bees have become my favourite, its a pleasure watching them, so beautiful with their bright yellow markings. They really are highly territorial and rather aggressive to other males, so fascinating watching them. #bees #insects #wildlife

Swallow-tailed Moth -  (Ourapteryx sambucaria) Such a beautiful moth, Angel like in appearance with its light yellow shaped wings, this individual is a little worn on its fluffy head but still spectacular 🌟 🌟 🌟 #wildlife #moths #insects

Orange-tailed Clearwing (Synanthedon andrenaeformis) I find Clearwings so fascinating they don't look like Moths, they are so different and have such beautiful delicate looking wings. #moths #mothsmatter #insects

European Wool Carder Bee (Nuneaton,VC38 15/6/25) great to have these in the garden again this Year...
