@singaporemacro They look absolutely awesome 😍

After finding a large pupa in the garden, my son and I decided to monitor, to see what would emerge. Turns out is what a stunning Elephant Hawk Moth (Deilephila elpenor) 😍

"There are a lot more bees out there that are vital to the ecosystem"

Photographer and winner of the wildlife photography contest Luke Chambers @MacroChambers, told That's TV how he spotted this rare armed nomad bee.

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@TTVOxfordshire Thanks so much for the opportunity 😊

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@WaveneyCott @BritishSpiders Ah of course! And I had the privilege of meeting them in person a couple of months ago 😊

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@WaveneyCott @BritishSpiders Those are amazing 😍

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@singaporemacro What a shot!

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@ivysuckle She has some seriously beautiful markings 😍

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@singaporemacro Definitely the second. More detail, and a much cooler angle.

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@DrRossPiper And speaking of spiders, Pisaura mirabilis would make a great segment. Males with nuptial gifts. Females carrying their egg sacs, and then guarding the nursery and her developing young 😊

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@DrRossPiper If there is a spider focused section as there was in the original, is there talks of including Steatoda nobilis? It would be great to have something out there to put a lot of the nonsense to bed, once, and for all. Not sure if that type of thing is what you're going for of course

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@DrRossPiper Cuckoo/Rubytailed wasps??

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@DrRossPiper 2 things I think would be great to feature.

The European Beewolf (Philanthus triangulum) and its relationship with Honey Bees.

And also the maternal care of the Lace-weaver (Amaurobius sp.) and how the female let's her young eat her alive 😊

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@DrRossPiper Yeah I can imagine. Plus it's over quite quickly, so it may not be the most worthwhile segment.

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@DrRossPiper Oh, and Beegrabbers!

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@DrRossPiper @BartramGail Wait, yes as in that's what you're working on?! 😍

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

@JulesA4thJuly @TimothyJonas @BritishSpiders @YorksWildlife @BBCSpringwatch @BBCEarth Thank you very much! They are stunning!

[Luke D Chambers @MacroChambers]

A very happy garden find! Something I've wanted to see for years; a mating pair of Green Meshweavers (Nigma walckenaeri) 😍

@shreyasknv Agreed! The angle is so good
