Another "garden safari" with a small spider and its large prey. The larvae of the Pied Plumethorn are scavengers and larval predators in the nests of social wasps.
Another post in the making will have a Golden-moustached Fly Fox Ectemnius cavifrons, which looks to be scarce here?
Candy Stripe Spider with prey, a Pied Plumethorn Volucella pellucens in my garden. In this photo the spider has already killed the fly, and it's seen near the tail
I moved them to get this photo where it looks like the spider is feeding through a hole in the abdomen
Green-veined White Butterflies mating, they remained in contact as they flew around the garden
Yet another Painted Lady
Willughby's Leaf-cutter Bee, or similar?
Common Drone Fly Eristalis tenax
Red-sided Parasite Fly Eriothrix rufomaculata
