A crop of a wild Parsnip flower head to show the wasp anmong the common Hoverflies. It was notable to both of us how long the antennae were but it could be a common Field digger Wasp
While I liked the color version of "Digger" which I posted recently I was tempted to do a B&W version after coming across the Damien Lovegrove method for converting color images to monochrome. fujilove.com/rafs-to-mono-with-impact-and-style/ It's an interesting approach and I think this image does "Digger" justice.
Field Digger Wasps (Mellinus arvensis) in our Staffordshire garden. There have been loads of males around for a while, but this is the first female I've seen. The males spotted her too.
Every year I try to get good shots of the females catching flies. I have a mental image of the shot I want, but have never quite got it. Their sting paralyses the flies and they are then used to provision the wasp's brood chambers. The wasps nest in the ground.

Females track down specific prey, paralyze them with a precise sting, and drag them back alive to keep them fresh. They pack these into underground brood chambers as food for their larvae.
A large "development" of modern houses and apartments on the outskirts of town. Not as ugly as many but still a very strong "could be bloody anywhere" vibe.

Indeed , it did not seem long to dig up the old drive ( hope he had the right address !! ) . A nifty little bit of kit doing a good job it seems .
this little dog was very busy digging out a mouse hole.
He had disappeared with his whole head and the sand was flying through the area.
Fun to watch!
These metal sculptures of the “root diggers” can be seen next to Highway 155 in Washington State. They were made by a member of the Colville Confederated Tribes, Virgil “Smoker” Marchand.

This type of bee had a weird kind of wobble when it hovered, it sort of rocked from side to side; here you can see how much its big proboscis wobbled in 1/80th of a second
Perched up high and dominating things.

I happened upon this winter tableau recently while hiking through an old cemetery. I stopped at the last possible moment before my boot crushed down and obliterated the miniature scene. It seemed a residual autumn leaf had somehow emerged from the snow, still restrained from beneath by an unseen branch. The leaf was blowing madly about in the wind. But because it was still moored to the ground, all it could do was flutter in a circular motion. This ongoing movement had actually formed ridges in the snow, a subtle arc that traced the motion of the leaf. Its put me in mind of someone trying to get my attention by waving a flag. Or of a disembodied hand reaching up to me. This thought seemed even more chilling given that the leaf was atop someone's grave. And the long shadow (even longer than the leaf that was casting it) enhanced the feeling of animation. I imagine the leaf eventually separated from the branch and was carried off by the wind, leaving only the odd crater in the snow. But in this moment, autumn and winter coexisted.
This one dropped by today! I'm not sure of ID so please feel free to help out! ;0)

15th Century English Farming Abstract Art This image presents an abstract view of 15th-century English farming, focusing on stylized diggers and the earth. It features complementary colors and fine details in a vibrant mosaic-like texture. Created by Diney on Oct 21, 2025 using the HiDream I1 Dev AI image generator model.
(The original Diggers were a radical group of agrarian communists in England who emerged in 1649, following the execution of King Charles I. Led by Gerrard Winstanley and William Everard, they attempted to cultivate common land as a "common treasury for all" and create egalitarian rural communities, believing that the earth was for everyone and that private property and class hierarchy were wrong. Harassed by local landowners and authorities, the Diggers were dispersed by early 1650.)
