Orange Underwing moth, I think.

No time to arrange nice background, and limited equipment, but I snapped a bee

Some kind of fly that was sitting very still!

A fine specimen of a Wossname-

Shooting into the light yesterday - the light specs are midges. I didn't realise there were so many, even on midge scale 1

Elephant Hawk Moth:

Photo taken while helping with a moth survey at my local nature reserve.

When photographing melanic harlequin ladybirds, care must be taken to avoid one's reflection:

(I've had a careful check that I'm not indecent in that one).

So instead, here's a proper native seven-spot, nomming away on aphids:

And a flutterby

I think this is a Wood Tiger Moth

Peter · « **Reply #112 on:** 17 July, 2012, 05:13:24 pm »

David, I think it's a marbled white butterfly. Whatever, it's a good shot!

David Martin · « **Reply #113 on:** 17 July, 2012, 05:16:22 pm »

You are probably right. I am not a lepidoptrist.

Peter · « **Reply #114 on:** 17 July, 2012, 05:18:32 pm »

Possibly right, only; neither am I!

Lots of insect "activity" (hem hem) today:

Longhorn beetles:

Soldier beetles (a second male kept trying to get in on the action):

Flies - not sure which type:

Anyone know what this is? I'm guessing gall wasp larvae:

Garden Tiger Moth found at local nature reserve on Wednesday.

Peter · « **Reply #117 on:** 26 July, 2012, 08:08:47 pm »

Beautiful!

Comma V's Fly… who'll blink first?

clarion · « **Reply #119 on:** 02 August, 2012, 08:16:30 pm »

My camera's not really well suited for this sort of thing. Nor have I any experience. Nor yet do I have both arms working. So it's fuzzy

, but I'm just chuffed I got a shot before it flew away (actually, I got three).

This fella let himself in today, by sliding up the sash window.

Peter · « **Reply #121 on:** 15 August, 2012, 05:11:06 pm »

your tag-line looks appropriate for the picture!

AndyK · « **Reply #122 on:** 15 August, 2012, 05:19:39 pm »

I think if you click the picture you can see it full size. You can see its beady little eyes, lots of them! Oh, and that's a pint glass.

Peter · « **Reply #123 on:** 15 August, 2012, 08:31:45 pm »

Yes, it's odd to think that it's "just" a house-spider. As for the pint-glass, I'm not surprised - some of them can open their own bottles!

Met these chaps in France the other week:

It was pretty difficult deciding which bits to try to get in focus, particularly as they kept moving and I was using a rather cumbersome old manual lens. There were many other shots that I discarded. The fourth one was a beautiful blue of some variety but it never came to rest with its wings down.
