@BritishSpiders @noordinarypark @Tone_Killick I was slightly puzzled by that too. I wonder if she hadn't been there long enough to change to the white colour.

The wonderful Misumena vatia with what looks like Uniglumis sp wasp prey today #OlympicPark @noordinarypark @BritishSpiders @Tone_Killick

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

@Tone_Killick @BritishSpiders @BASSurveys Cheers for that Tone 💐

#OlympicPark #E20 A possible Brigittea latens spider from today @BASSurveys @BritishSpiders

@Tone_Killick @noordinarypark @BritishSpiders Thank you Tone x

#OlympicPark We saw three Painted Lady butterflies today which is quite a good number here in one day as in previous years I might only see three in a season. I noticed # Norfolk had quite a few this year. @uk_butterflies

#OlympicPark A Welsh Chafer on Yarrow today. A small but interesting looking Chafer.

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

The colour of these Bombus humilis in comparison to Bombus pascuroum is quite different although I have seen queens of Common Carder with a very bright colour which is similar at a glance. @iancbeavis @noordinarypark #OlympicPark

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

This bee was such a beauty to see. The colour was so fresh. I’m guessing Colletes similis the thorax was a bright reddish brown. @iancbeavis #OlympicPark #E20 @noordinarypark

#OlympicPark #E20 @noordinarypark spotted today at the Park. Osmia spinulosa mating pair. @iancbeavis Those eyes are just so beautiful! I’m glad I didn’t disturb them too much.

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

@iancbeavis Thanks for explaining the behaviour Ian. I thought at first it was some sort of mating ritual, to attract females, there were so many of them.

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

I haven’t seen these before. Maybe a Bay Sucker but very interesting behavior @iancbeavis

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

@White1939D To love is the greatest gift. To be loved by any animal is worth everything.

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

@iancbeavis @FWP2009 Thanks Ian 😊

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

Spotted today #WansteadPark @FWP2009 seems quite early but a possible Tachina lurida. @iancbeavis

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

@Tone_Killick @BritishSpiders Many thanks Tone 🌼😊

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

Spotted today on a garden wall. At first I thought it was Hypositticus pubescens but not so sure. @BritishSpiders @Tone_Killick

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

@eyecontactpix @iancbeavis @BritishBugs @bugmanjones They are new to me since last year too. Here is some more info.

There were hundreds of these Firebugs at my local cemetery today. Males and females the one at the end looks like a winged specimen. @iancbeavis @BritishBugs @bugmanjones #E7ManorPark

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

@socrates2sox @BritishBugs @iancbeavis They are! And surprisingly well camouflaged against the dead leaves.

[Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 @RoseNWF]

Spotted these European Fire Bugs Pyrrhocoris apterus in my local cemetery. There were quite a number of them @BritishBugs @iancbeavis
