A new one for my butterfly set, a male Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes). He's a little worn at the edges, but still a handsome fellow.

I love bees!

Request: If anybody can identify/recognize this species, please let me know. Or any suggestion where I can get more info of this species.

This Praying Mantis had just caught a honeybee and was trying to eat it when a group of very small flies landed on the Praying Mantis’ head. This group of flies was actually eating food right out of the Praying Mantis’ mouth. I have not seen this behavior before.

Insect حشرة

Delphinia picta. When I first saw this insect I thought it was a small wasp. I am sure this mistake is to the evolutionary advantage of the fly. About 10 mm long. It habitually moves its oddly patterned wings in a rowing motion.

In early May, we had a wildlife pond completed in our Staffordshire garden. It's around 12 feet by 10 feet (old money) with a butyl liner and paving slabs around. There's no pump or filtration and we're not intending to introduce fish. We've planted it with a range of lilies, marginal plants and oxygenators. The water looks clear and healthy, but all the pond contains is the odd pond skater, some mosquito larvae and some daphnia. Today, the first damselflies arrived!

I've taken some (rather poor) photographs. I'm not experienced with photographing or identifying the Odonata, hopefully I'll improve. I've also misplaced my Field Guide. I ended up photographing with my 400mm F5.6 lens with a set of extension tubes attached. If the shots a good enough to assist in identification, I'd love some assistance!

I would guess:

- Common Blue;

- Blue-tailed;

- Large Red.
