See where this picture was taken. [?]

There are times I am SO glad I am not a flying insect! Wished I could have released him but I would have harmed him more if I had tried.

I've been collecting insects much longer than I´ve been photographing them. These are the ones I've got so far. Add a note if you are positive about an identification, or leave a comment if you want me to take a closer photo of a specific insect.

This is a stack of two photos.

Pitfall-style insect interceptors can be used to monitor for bed bugs. However, monitors can pick up other arthropods as well.

An Oligosita pallida parasitoid wasp of the Trichogrammatidae found in birch in the garden. Two further pictures below - note that distinctive wing.

It was sitting on my Rhubarb plant, sunbathing and catching insects to eat, it has just finished one in the pic

I really have no idea what kind of insect is this. Really appreciate if anyone can tell me about that. Thanks.

La abeja va de flor en flor recolectando néctar, mientrastanto de forma involuntaria va rozando su cuerpo y patas por los estambres de las flores, que contienen polen y se adhiere a ella. La abeja encuentra los nectarios en la flor (glándulas productoras de néctar) y liba el néctar. Los granos de polen que transporta la abeja en algun momento rozan el estigma de los pistilos y quedan enganchados a él (el estigma es la parte superior del pistilo por donde penetraran los núcleos gaméticos para fecundar el ovario/s del interior de los pistilos).

De esta forma una gran mayoria de flores han adoptado estrategias para servirse de insectos u otros animales para poder realizar la polinización. Para atraer a los animales que permitirán la polinización, en muchos, casos las flores producirán algún tipo de substancia atrayente o de recompensa, como el caso del néctar.

insects use colours to trap their prey and this one is really very attractive.
