Another miner bee on Euphorbia. Think this is a male Andrena sp. I was actually holding the stem of the flower and the bee peered over the top of the flower to see what was going on

Flying Cyclommatus metallifer By Katsuta Kyohei

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

Ladybug on hemerocallis leaf

I've seen only two damselflies this year (both of which zipped off at 100mph before I even got near them), until yesterday when I visited the RSPB reserve in Lochwinnoch, where there were many. However, the ones yesterday were also speedy damselflies, and I didn't get close to many. This poor one was flying around, but it seemed to have a problem with its abdomen (it was bent at a funny angle), which is probably why I managed to get a couple of photos---I didn't bother it for long though, as I was sure it would rather have flown off, but maybe wasn't feeling great.

Dragonfly on new shoot of plant

Few more of these appearing in the garden - think this is fairly recently hatched judging by the pale eye colour.

I have not made a lot of these insect macros. I had the macro lens on for another purpose and at that moment decided to photograph this common fly.

I thought it was not bad so decided to put this on Flickr.

This Tortoiseshell managed to find a space to feed between the Soldier beetles, only to get bounced off by an aggressive wasp...

..Wing of an insect. I'll tell you soon more about it.

Its definitely spring, the weather has been good for a couple of days and many insects are out and about. This is the first photo I have managed to get of a butterfly in Britain this year

Profile shot of the dragonfly, taken in Nantwich.

not sure of id, lovely colouring though, on a blade of grass at the side of the road near our house

The heat has brought he flies out, snapped these on and around the back door. Don't even think it...
