A couple of weeks ago, I entered this picture into the Warehouse Express #wexmondays competition on Twitter (@WexTweets) - and what do you know? I only went and won it!
I won a voucher for £10 for their printing services and I put the money towards a canvas print, which I now have hanging on my wall above my stairs!
Thanks to everyone at Warehouse Express for voting for me! :)
If anyone is using 500px, I've setup an account here! :)

A Ruby-tailed wasp on a daisy type flower just outside the Alpine House at RHS Wisley. Not possible to take to full species level but identified as a male Hedychrum sp., possibly Hedychrum nobile.
I've only seen one ruby-tailed wasp before and this is the first time I've managed to get a photo. This individual was very compliant staying absolutely still for some time.

It wasn't until I looked at the photo that I realised why the Mother of Pearl (Pleuroptya ruralis) moth was so still. Misumena vatia don't seem to care about the size of their prey.

A change of identity thanks to Malcolm Smart who informed me that it is "... a female Eutolmus rufibarbis !!!!!!. The ovipositor is laterally compressed and a completely different shape from Machimus (similar to Dysmachus but that has long hairs on the mesonotum extending all the way to the front). Machimus atricapillus has orange stripes on its Femora - this one has them all black. It is a fairly scarce species that has a distribution limited to the southern heaths and Suffolk (the Brecks)."
Also known as Golden-tabbed robberfly.

A cuckoo bumblebee on an echinops flower. I think this is bombus vestalis, the Southern cuckoo bumblebee.
Looking like some creature with tentacles, this is part of a dried allium seed-head
