Garden insects photographed on 26/7/2023 which involved two cameras and a lot of kneeling on the ground....
"I choose to photograph insects and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of my energies and skills, because that challenge is one that I am willing to accept"
Small Copper Butterfly, the first I've seen in my garden
Potato Capsid Closterotomus norwegicus adult
Closterotomus norwegicus the new generation of the Capsid above and only 2-3mm long
Buff-tailed Bumblebee
Common Carder Bee
Honey Bee
Patchwork Leafcutter Bee, stores pollen on its rump
Red-tailed Bumblebee
Drone Fly
Migrant Hoverfly
Davies' Colletes Bee
Greenbottle species
Flesh Fly Sarcophaga species, almost impossible to tell which without examining the males genitalia, so that's the end of that...
Tree Wasp
Blackbird, and yes it's always singing in the dead of night
Something spooked all the birds in my garden, but not enough to make them flee, probably a cat in a neighbours garden. These House Sparrows were part of a long row, all eyes right
The lost Racing Pigeon is still visiting, I was told in the past that some owners don't want them back if they can't "home"
