Somebody thinks wings aren’t tasty!

This little git has been buzzing around the house for days, unable to find and make use of one of the many open windows to escape, and generally being a PITA whenever we were cooking. The dog just discovered his corpse under the coffee table.

Kinda beautiful their iridescent colouring when you can get a good look.

Accidentally caught this little guy - he must’ve snuck in when I was winding. Now released.

[SKT]

@ARNC he’s taking himself for a slow ride

Spotted this beauty sheltering under the hatch to my external header tank.

Arachnid, I know. Sue me.

The insect is probably what’s getting eaten.

@EdH great shot

A Red Admiral has taken a liking to one of our apothecary bottles....

[Oaktavia]

@Giles nice specimen, I love the spot of red. The bottle is neat too, dig that color.

in the last nights we've had hornets out here by my cottage. they were busy with other insects but quite peaceful to us, as long as you did not inadvertently grab anything they are sitting on. my love was stung by one into her hand. it did hurt but less than from a wasp she said. had to cool it for the evening and it felt itchy for another day. this fellow here like our candle, fortunately always kept distance to the flame.

[Oaktavia]

@endo wow that's neat about the candle. Glad it didn't hurt too bad for your love.

I got nailed by a wasp a few years ago. It was devastating. They just keep stinging. When I’m in charge they’ll be the first to go.

@Matt why stop at wasps? Get rid of 'em all ,I say
