Insect. photos on Flickr

This beetle was on fine granite. It was taken in February 2007 so it is one of my old ones. I am not sure if it was ever posted to Flickr because most of my photos from those days are not listed as Flickr ones. I need to check the SET on Flickr to be sure but I am running late. Gone for the day.

Very camera shy and may be it was the speedlight therefore I made only 5 shots. I like this one best from this series.

Cute unidentified insect by Tessa Barratt

5 2

This insect has me stumped. Its cute little face reminds me of a bee, but its body suggests a wasp, but there are bees that convincingly look like wasps and vice versa! This tiny cutie was fussing about on some carrot tops (Platysace linearifolia) and was a challenge to photograph because of its size and flightiness. I managed a few photos from different angles in the hopes someone could identify it for me! Found in Springwood, Blue Mountains, NSW.

Insect Hotel by Arkovic

From the text next to the "hotel" :

Prof. Dr. Herwig Teppner from the Graz University found out, that wild bees visit about (if +2 °C) during 100 collecting flights each daz around 4.500 to 6.500 blossoms. Honey bees achieve only 700 on warmer days.

There are lots of insects that can`t find appropriate hatcheries in our polluted environment.

Conservation of wild bees is getting more and more important for pollination of flowers, bushes, corn and fruit trees. Solitair living wasps and bees gladly use holes (2-8 mm) in pieces of hardwood or brick clay for breeding.

You can also put pieces of twigs of forsytia and black elder in your garden. So you can watch mason bees, face masked bees, and many more bees and tiny wasps living and breeding in your garden. All of them are harmless for you and your children!

Last time I uploaded a photo of what I thought was Scolypopa australis, it turned out to be an incorrect I.D. (it was a signal fly). But this time I am quite sure this is indeed Scolypopa australis! This one was in our garden. [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW]
