I had a bit of a break from extension tubes and flashes and all my shots were natural light shots, luckily I had my monopod :)
This is a Green Veined White, one of the more attractive White Butterflies, love 'em :)
A click beetle (Wikipedia entry) resting on a leaf. It is a type of beetle characterized by the unusual click mechanism they possess. A spine on the prosternum can be snapped into a corresponding notch on the mesosternum, producing a violent "click" which can bounce the beetle into the air. Clicking is mainly used to avoid predation.
Thanks to Insect~O~Saurus and Eddie the Bugman for the ID.

Als Bugman ist man natürlich immer verantwortlich das man gerade fährt, insbesondere im Skullboot, wo der Schlagmann kein Steuer am Fuss hat.
A Female Brachytron pratense, within 10 mins of me arriving at my destination this beauty settled in the hedgerow next to me, flew straight through a spiders web by the looks of things :)
Mr Eddie The Bugman (Collembola madness) told me a while a go to post this again so here it is.

I would like to thank "Wildlife On The Go aka. Bugman" for ID this BUG-.
Suhpalacsa flavipes, body length 45mm, female
This Owl-fly is black in colour with yellow markings. Head and legs are pale yellow with dark grey eyes. On wings the pterostigma is lemon yellow, in hindwings the pterostigma is dark basal spot. Wings are relative broad.
Interesting looking fella, such great mouthparts. An Empid fly (genus Empis) which uses its extended mouthparts to feed on nectar. Cheers to Eddie The Bugman for ID.

Anothe fly that I feel I should be able to identify and can't. Help please. Thank you Eddie the Bugman for the id
Dioctria rufipes, Red-legged Robberflies

Street art seen in San Francisco, California, featuring what appears to be a man dressed in an insect suit.
Finding wood the right size to use for beams was tricky. Bought some online from a random place and it was too thick; but eventually found some thinner ones I could cut with a saw first, then with a knife for the joints (also used the knife to cut some detail into the wood)
I've seen lots of these over the last month of so, often finding many together. I wasnt sure whether it was a mirid bug or some sort of assassin bug, or something related---so thanks to Eddie the Bugman for the ID :)
Taken on the cyclepath near my house.
I chased this springtail all over this piece of rotten wood, as it tried to find somewhere to hide. This was the best shot I got. I'm assuming it's Pogonognathellus longicornis as the antennae are longer than the body. I also tried Eddie Nurcombe's (Eddie the Bugman) suggestion of blowing on it to see if the ends of the antennae curl up. They did!
[Update: Frans Janssens reckons this is P. flavescens. That's good enough for me!]
Well I went out on a walk today and the weather was not really in my favour, rain and gales seemed to be the order of the day, did have a period of sunshine though.
This was my only real find of the day, I was looking under leaves near bracken and found loads of these little Planthopper nymphs, not sure on ID, but thinking possibly Scottianella dalei, but that's just going on one image I found in the British Bugs Gallery and that was a ? image.
Anyway, this is a 12 image handheld focus stack on a windy day, the leaf it was on was fluttering a bit every so often, also the Planthopper did move once, but not by that much. I quite like the colours on this species, I love Planthoppers, they are curious little things :o)

Really nice looking beast on bramble :) An ID would be welcome too!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
EDIT: This is a Snipe Fly (Rhagio scolopaceus), thanks Wildlife On The Go The Bugman :)
This is my Minotaur. All metallic parts are painted non-metallic metal. It was also the first time I painted shadow in the recesses of the skin by blending Imperial Primer to Bugman's Glow. It has ventured upon a Bretonnian farmland and is being shot at. I hope you like it, all comments are welcome!
A Nintendo DS case for Bugman with Link's Boomerang on one side and a fireflower on the other. (ravelry)
At that waiting stage, almost fully out, the Damselfly waits for a while and then it's legs start working :)
