Shieldbug Dolycoris baccarum

4 spotted chaser, I think!

Had me chasing it around Rixton Clay Pits for 4 hours or more at the weekend.

The sun came out this afternoon and through my mind went, bees, snowdrops, camera so out I went for we have many hundreds of snowdrops which the bees and other insects love. They were a-buzz with life but mostly the bees are far too fast for me to catch them, the other insects are a little slower.

Due to chronic poor health I'm unable to take on new contacts but do my best to reply to comments.. Thank you so much for your interest, comments and favours Also for your good wishes. I send you joy and peace

Not sure what it was. About 4 inches long and made a buzzing noise.

Snoozing on a fern. Nowt strange - just suits my mood! I SO want to do some different photography but my back is not up to it yet.....Hmmmmm...frustration! I need a remote controlled, robot mounted, camera that I can send out. Just think - I could use a live view wireless feed to position it perfectly for my landscape shot. And the ND grads would slide into position at the touch of a remote button - perfect!! Any techno bots out there that can construct this for me?

PS Oh and it must be able to travel on rocky foreshores..Lol!! And be waterproof - I want to do moody susserating water shots..Lol!!

here's the same old butterfly that visits my garden every now and then !....as i said before, insect photography is really a challenging work !....but still people love it, and am not an exception !

instead of a square frame i thought a rectangular one would be better !...hope it is !

Speckled wood butterfly on rhododendron. Natural light

For frida

don't know what this is called

I photographed this insect at stretton mill this morning and am unable to determine the species --is anyone able to help ?--a little more study since posting has suggested that it may be a form of the female blue tailed damselfly called rufescens-obsoleta, but I am by no means certain---subsequently confirmed --see below
