This post is all of insects from Arbroath Cliffs, with a fly species from my garden tagged on, and some Carder Bees from Olive's lawn. I also have various other photos and many Grey Heron photos which will be in later posts, all from Thursday. I had 109 Heron photos to look through and choose from, and I don't like deleting good photos, but I'll have to.
Blue-tailed Damselfly, quite unexpected at the Cliffs, though looking back I've seen this species in the same place before. I think this is a female, one of the five colour variants
Narcissus Bulb Fly - Merodon equestris
It can attack garden bulbs such as Daffodil. Usually however it can be found in the countryside where it breeds on Bluebell bulbs. Whilst the larvae take up to 300 days to grow, once hatched the adult only lives for 5 - 24 days
