Twizell Woods

 A walk around Twizell Woods last month produced some canny insects however, I was shocked at the lack of dragonflies, I saw only one, a Four-spotted Chaser it’s becoming quite disturbing. There were, as I said, other insects to photograph and here are some of them. Oh, and by the way if I fall down on identification, please keep me right.

Golden-bloomed Grey Longhorn Beetle.


There were a few Speckled Longhorn Beetle.
