Clever bumble bees. Having tried the Mk1 bee feeder - a milkbottle top with some foam stuck on top of a cane with honey/sugar syrup in it. I've been thinking of how to overcome the inevitable problem that ants eventually find it and take it over. Well saw a small animal water feeder in the supermarket that hangs down. Stuck a couple of pieces of Velcro either side of the nozzle for grip and put some honey sugar syrup inside. Hung it up in a bush in the evening and next morning the bumble bees had it all worked out and were hanging off the nozzle feeding. I expect the ants will eventually work out how to get it but I was impressed that the bees worked it out so fast.

Found this insect in my house, I have no clue what this is...

I love the structure in the wings!

I'm looking forward to spring, there will be much more insects to take macro shots of...

ID please

Les coups de chaleur font pousser la vigne rapidement.

On distingue parfaitement, les formances (futurs raisins).

Notre crainte maintenant c'est le gel. La lune rousse qui commence en avril et fini en mai et les fameux Saints de glace.

Le cognac 2018 est loin d'être mis en bouteille..... 😊
