One friend asked me, have I encountered a fairy or two?

Well, I do encountered the Elf, the helper of the fairy.

The Elf hang under a leaf.

He waved his hands and said " I am the Elf. The fairy is on her vacation." LOL

It was difficult to take a picture of this insect in the day. Where I waited until dark, and you photographed

كان من الصعب أخذ صورة لهذه الحشرة في النهار . حيثُ أني أنتظرت حتى حلول الظلام وقمت بتصويرها

Found a rather groggy wasp queen yesterday catching some sun on a camelia leaf - must have just come out of hibernation.

Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand

first of the season in my communal garden

I am not really sure what this critter is but I found it outside on the wall today. It was quite small not as large as it looks here.

This potter wasp took some time tearing bits of petal from the top of an unopened potentilla flower in it's search for caterpillars

I had no choice but to use the flash as he was hiding under the shade. The wings had somewhat reflected the flash, otherwise the color of this creature could have been more matt looking.

This is a shy insect and flew whenever i come close. Even my Tamron is not far enough to not spook it.

ID please?

Ladybugs on leaves.

The one on the bottom was eating the whole time. They flew, landed and moved around for some time while I watched and took pictures. Thread Waisted Wasp: Eremnophila aureonotata.

Taken in Autreppes, France.
