I love hearing the crickets, grasshoppers, and other insects at the end of summer, especially in fields like this & at night.

Dragonflies in and around Dorset, South England

I was looking for my 'pet' garden spider in the back garden, but it has rained recently and there don't seem to be any webs anywhere in the garden. There were a few insects, flies, wasps and a hoverfly under a lilac tree.

 

Wasps and flies aren't particular favorites of mine but I tried to get a quick photo anyway. The poor light and the constantly moving insects didn't help to get a sharp focus or any depth

Ex larva from Preston Lancashire emerged from pupa 15 June 1985. Hasselblad 500CM 150 Sonnar + 55mm tube F16-11 15th Fugi colour slide.

The children painted with worms (rubber); made a squish painting to show the mirror image of what they painted; made a super cute tissue snail and an insect crayon rubbing. The children then explored several sensory stations. Magnets; rings; fidget toys; sensory bins were multi-colored rice with lizards, dinosaur skeleton dig, fresh made play dough. Other sensory tables items included gel spiders, stack wood beads on a stick, counting and picking up numerous insects, and sensory houses.

Insect macro season is back!

Nice to see late summer flowers, and at this time of year they are never without their visitors. Here we have a tiny wasp on the right hand side. At least, I think it is a wasp...

Grijze dansvlieg

 

This Grey dancefly feeds on flowers and on insects.

 

Dance fly (family Empididae), any member of a family of insects in the fly order, Diptera, that are named for their erratic movements while in flight. Dance flies are small with a disproportionately large thorax and a long tapering abdomen. In males, the abdomen usually bears conspicuous genitalia at the posterior end.

 

Courtship involves the male presenting a dead fly to the female. Mating does not take place until the female accepts the fly and feeds on it. The adults usually inhabit moist regions and feed on smaller insects. The larvae occur in soil, water, or decaying plant material and also feed on insects.
