Bonking Beetles and 10-spot Ladybird

   
Text and names under the individual photos, I can't recall seeing a 10-spot Ladybird or a Grey-banded Mining Bee before, with the usual caveats on ID.



10-spot Ladybird Adalia decempunctata, two photos to see the details, it's likely it will get darker with age





Grey-banded Mining Bee Andrena denticulata


Narcissus Bulb Fly


Red Soldier Beetles, making the next generation


Patchwork Leafcutter Bee Megachile centuncularis


Tree Bumblebee Bombus hypnorum


Swift, the best photo so far in declining light around 2000 hrs. The adults are feeding the chicks more often, so my next step is to stand in the street and try to photograph the adults as they enter the nest. Most of my neighbours take some interest and ask what birds they are
