Twizell Woods

 A walk around the ponds at Twizell Woods produced some canny insects. It was one of those days when there was loads to see so there are loads of images here. As I keep saying, I’m not very good at identifying these insects so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Work

 First time in ages that I have had my camera at work. As I only took my 300 mm lens all the images were taken with that. As always when I show insects if I have any identification wrong, please don’t hesitate to correct me.
