7-spot ladybird on marguerite. Focus stacked using zerene

some achillea, a little fly

No matter what position i got into he kept moving behind the stem.

This is an Anise Swallowtail caterpillar feeding on Fennel flowers. It looks like it is going to eat another bud, but actually I disturbed it when I bent the flower around into better light and it reared up displaying its horns (osmeterium). They emit a foul odor (which I did not smell) and are a defense again parasitic wasps laying their eggs on its body.

so I'm trying to learn about dragonflies, hawkers, skimmers, chasers, darters etc. but with little success. I have no idea what this is, if anyone can help, that would be much appreciated.

During a spot of gardening this ladybird made an appearance climbing up to the top of a pile of dandelions, taking flight for a second, crashing, then repeating the process. It didn't seem to be flying well and was maybe getting it's skills back after hibernation.
