…left knee replaced so I will be out of action for some time. I can’t drive for at least six weeks so unless something happens in the garden these next few Blogs (some from our holiday in Scotland and a couple from trips out locally) are going to have to be my last for a while. This one is from a trip to Twizell Woods at the beginning of this month.
I saw at least two Golden-bloomed Grey longhorn
Beetles and I took far too many pictures of them.
And there were at least two Black-and-yellow Longhorn
Beetles.
Red-legged/Forest Shieldbug.
A light coloured 7-spot Ladybird.
A darker 7-spot Ladybird.
Soldier Beetle.
Common Grammoptera?
The reason I went to Twizell Woods, Southern Hawker
Dragonfly. Unfortunately, it would not settle so this is the best I could get
at the time but as soon as I’m able I’ll be back.
Male Broad-bodied Chaser.
Common Darter.
There were a few around the pools.
Four-spotted Chaser.
Emerald Damselfly.
Azure Damselflies.
I think this could be a Tree Wasp.
Sawfly.
Eristalis Sp. Hoverfly.
Epistrophe Sp. Hoverfly.
Helophilus pendulus Hoverfly.
Eristalis Sp. in flight.
Banded General Soldierfly,
Great Pied Hoverfly.
Cuckoo Bumblebee.
Flesh Fly.
Picture winged Fly?
Grasshopper.
Comma Butterfly.
Small Skipper Butterfly.
A pair of Small Skippers.
A Water Boatman with a grub or caterpillar ready to
eat.
Snail.
Lovely set of pics Ron, not seen the wings of a Golden-bloomed Longhorn before, nice shots. Hope your recovery goes well, we're off on our jollies shortly so hope to get some good macro stuff while away. Cheers for now, will keep looking in for more from Scotland, you might even have time to put a few more words in :-)
ReplyDeleteCheers Alan. I will look forward to seeing your macro shots on Twitter you always seem to find some good stuff while you are on your jollies. Legs getting better so if my wife doesn’t mind driving me around (I’ll not ask that often) I might get out with the camera. I’m ok with the camera but not so good with words so I keep them to a minimum.
