Nothing common about the Common Buckeye Butterfly - I love those eye spots! I also like the spider webbing in the pic, must be my "creepy" side coming out.

This is such a prolific year for dragonflies in our area! I'm accumulating photos on my hard drive. Here are two of them.

Hoverfly - Rhingia campestris - Highdown gdns. Natural light.

I only very rarely see these in my own garden but they were all over the place at Highdown

Have spotted these very tiny springtails again this year. They are very small and active, tricky to get a good shot!

I was only commenting on a friends photo of this lovely hawkmoth this week and saying that I had not seen one for several years to find this in my conservatory this morning

This mantis entered our sitting room last night so I put him under a light and took some closeups.

(Am I the only one who sees a resemblance to Australia's new Foreign Minister?)

I took a little time to check out some of the insects and spiders near the Honeysuckle this weekend.
