On a sunny Thursday afternoon I had my regular look around the garden for any interesting inverts.
I struck lucky with a Broad-faced Mining Bee nectaring on spurge in the front garden under our lounge window. Being only 99% sure of the id I checked with the experts who kindly confirmed it for me. With precious few county records it was a very pleasing find.
Also around the garden I found Common Mini-miner, Stenodema laevigata, Dock Bug, Flavous Nomad Bee, Rhopalus subrufus, Spotted Canefly, Pimpla rufipes and the weevil Sitona sulcifrons.
