Braconid wasp. Although I didn't catch it, this seemed to be displaying by raising it's wings in the air

I want to say his name, but fails to decipher. Whoever wants to can let me know here, his height is only a few millimeters, comparable with a mosquito

Noticed a few black ants beginning to show some activity so I baited the top of a milk bottle with a drop of honey

Speckled wood butterfly. Natural light.

Saw at a riverside of Hong Kong

On my mate Mark's hand Messingham nature reserve, North Lincolnshire

Udea ferrugalis ?

Megachile sp.?

Dude. DUDE. The front of a dragonfly's head looks like some kind of hobo king mask. WTF. Bugs up close are awesome.

It's been playing in the pollen too :P
