OK, so I was a bit bored and started looking at some more of the bugs and beasties to be found in the garden yesterday! I managed to identify 3 different hoverflies -
Marmalade Hoverfly (
Epissyrphus balteatus),
Long Hoverfly (
Sphaerophoria scripta) and a
Syrphus sp which I'm told can't be identified specifically from any photograph. It's all a big learning process for me! There was also a
Harlequin Ladybird nymph and also a strange one in transition into an adult. The metallic emerald coloured
Thick-legged Flower Beetle was also a beauty as was the
Digger Wasp which looks like
Argogorytes mystaceus. On more familiar territory I also added 2 new butterflies to the garden list with both
Large Skipper and
Essex Skipper.
