Apidae is the largest family within the superfamily Apoidea, containing at least 5700 species of bees. The family includes some of the most commonly seen bees, including bumblebees and honey bees, but also includes stingless bees (also used for honey production), carpenter bees, orchid bees, cuckoo bees, and a number of other less widely known groups.
Many are valuable pollinators in natural habitats and for agricultural crops. In addition to its historical classification (honey bees, bumble bees, stingless bees and orchid bees), the family Apidae presently includes all the genera formerly placed in the families Anthophoridae and Ctenoplectridae. Although the most visible members of Apidae are social, the vast majority of apid bees are solitary, including a number of cleptoparasitic species.

Yet another shot from my garden. have a few types of ferns growing. I don't know their individual types or names. Quite fascinating to to grab a shot of the fern emerging and what looks like fine white hair type follicles giving coverage.
Fern. (Polypodiopsida or Polypodiophyta)
Birth of a Bluebell :) They are self seeding and continue to succeed as one of Britain's most popular flower.
The Woodland Trust #BigBluebellWatch
English Bluebell [also known as Native Bluebell, Hyacinthoides non-scripta] at Bunny Old Wood Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire, which is part of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, Woodland Trust and English Nature.
Best viewed full screen. Looks far better on a PC/Laptop monitor.
From the dormant state, new growth begins to break through. Capturing those tentative moments. Even Nature of an every day nature is fascinating.
I love taking photos of rain droplets on little moss plants, or other tiny plants. You never know what the camera will reflect and magnify, and I do enjoy opening the pictures in the computer to see what's there. Often the detail has been so tiny, I've been unable to see it with my eyes.
Snakes Head Fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris)

Chilean Lantern Tree (Crinodendron hookerianum) also known as "Ada Hoffmann". They just get better and better, each year. Judging by the amount now budding, the tree (shrub) is gonna be marvelous in full bloom.

Fern (Polypodiopsida).
Fern is widespread and often overlooked to some degree. With the advent of Spring they begin their new growth. Fascinating to capture the macro moments and colours they hold at this stage.

A short time ago I uploaded this plant just as it was bursting through its thin skin, Wow! take a look at it now. Various Bees are frantically pollinating.
Nectaroscordum (Allium).
Alliums are part of the onion family. They bloom with bell-shaped flowers offering reddish-purple markings as you can see. Known as the Honey Garlic, Sicilian Honey Lily, Sicilian Honey Garlic, or Mediterranean Bells, is a European and Turkish species of plants genus Allium. It is native to the regions around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and grown in other regions as an ornamental and as a culinary herb.

While at NT Clumber Park, this arachnid was in my peripheral view, I scurried across and grabbed a couple of shots.
Moments later it scuttled away.
... Spiders (animals) only have two main body parts while insects have three main body parts.
It's the first time I've seen a Giant Leopard Moth (Hypercompe scribonia). Sadly, this one was nearing its final breath.
I beleive it's a Leopard Moth (Zeuzera pyrina)
Wingspan 35-60 mm. A very distinctive and easily recognised species. It has six large black spots on the white furry thorax, along with heavy black spotting on whitish wings. Associated with woodland, gardens and orchards. Though nocturnal in habits, the adults can sometimes be found resting conspicuously in the daytime. The adults fly during June and July.
It's 'Fern Watch' once again. Another few days on and incremental changes are happening of course. Close up at this stage the leaves resemble pin head size grapes covered in cobwebs. Truly fascinating :)
A fern is a member of a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular, i.e., having specialised tissues that conduct water and nutrients and in having life cycles in which the sporophyte is the dominant phase.
Zoom in for more detail.
Seen this little fella while at Clifton Grove Local Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire.
[it's a still from a video file]
It is one of the commonest garden butterflies, found throughout lowland England and Wales with a wingspan of 63mm. It's unmistakable, with quite spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings that give this butterfly its name. These eyes must appear very threatening to predators, such as mice, that confront this butterfly head-on, where the body forming a "beak".

Chilean Lantern Tree (Crinodendron Hookerianum)
Have this tree growing in relative shade. Must be getting on for 10 years old or more. Once in a while it gets pruned to promote new growth. If left alone it would be quite tall and wide, I have it around 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide.
C. hookerianum is a dense, hardy medium-sized evergreen shrub to 6m, with rigid, narrow, dark green leaves and fleshy, lantern-shaped, crimson flowers 2.5cm in length from late spring to late summer.

Peppered around Derbyshire's Hardwick Park (National Trust), are the ever popular Elderberry's (Sambucus). Sturdy perennials that are quite delicate up close.
The cooked berries are commonly eaten in pies and jams, and berry juice can be fermented into wine.
Ash Tree Seeds (Fraxinus excelsior).
Bunches of keys can be removed from branches in October, or even throughout the winter, before they are dispersed by the wind. Simply pull them gently from the tree with your fingers.
If you have picked green keys (or even those that have begun to turn brown) take care to store them in ‘breathable’ bags. They still have a high moisture content, which can cause the seeds to heat up if they don’t have adequate ventilation.
Ash is one of the most common trees in the UK. When fully grown, ash trees can reach a height of 35m. Tall and graceful, they often grow together, forming a domed canopy. The bark is pale brown to grey and fissures as the tree ages.
Ash is dioecious, meaning that male and female flowers typically grow on different trees, although a single tree can also have male and female flowers on different branches. Both male and female flowers are purple and appear before the leaves in spring, growing in spiked clusters at the tips of twigs.
Once the female flowers have been pollinated by wind, they develop into conspicuous winged fruits, or 'keys', in late summer and autumn. They fall from the tree in winter and early spring, and are dispersed by birds and mammals.

Another from my garden. The beautiful Japanese Green Maple Tree. Leaves are just emerging.
Originally purchased back in 2003 as a Japanese Purple Maple Tree. As the season develops its primary colour is green. A horticulturist later explained that it was grafted and in time the original colour takes precedence.
This Acer is our memory tree in honour of my late father who died Easter 2003. He was a keen gardener and his garden never had anything out of place :)
Love and miss you Dad xx
