Exciting times as damselfly have started emerging from my little pond. That’s what’s its all about…

July Bee
A few buzzing around now, been a quiet time for insect, but seems to be picking up a bit.

Lots of Ladybirds
Seems having an aphid infestation in the elderberry bush has its benefits, lots of ladybirds. As well as wasps, but they are keeping to themselves mostly.

Blue Mason Bee
The little mason bee came back and hung around a bit for some close ups!

Blue Mason Bee
Another treat, after accidently disturbing this little bee while gardening, it crawled onto my hand and warmed up for 10 minutes before setting off. Then popped back a short while later for some rest and pollen from the nearby geranium I thought it might like.

Tawny Mining Bee
A little tawny mining bee stopped by while I happened to be watching a ladybird. Making the most out of the tiny gooseberry blossom.
