Medium sized hoverfly tying it's legs in knots.

Another butterfly that is frequently seen at Gaddon loch is the small copper. I shot this one at the end of last summer (07)

This moth was hanging out on my door when I came home late one night. I was shocked with how large it was. I have not personally seen a moth of this size before.

any help with identification would be appreciated.

I have found these chaps exceedingly difficult to photograph. I have shed loads of out of focus shots. However perseverance pays. In focus at last.

another of this confusing parasitoid wasp of the Scelionidae family found in the garden. Closest identification is Telenomus longistriatus, but this has genal striae or carinae and is 1.0mm long, whereas T.longistriatus has no genal striae and is 0.6 or 0.7mm long. Guidance is needed!
