ABOUT ME

I live in a camper van with a West Highland Terrier for company.
My passion is creating images but it is a work in progress.
I am always willing to share what knowledge I have and can be contacted through the comments on this post or e-mail ADRIAN

THEY ARE BACK. (11/07/16)

It’s been a funny sort of day. Very humid but dry for the most part.

I only got one picture this afternoon as the flash batteries died and I hadn’t had the foresight to take replacements.

_V0G0110 Common Red Soldier Beetles, Rhagonycha fulva.  There are lots of other insects sharing the Hogweed umbral. I’ll have a serious insect session tomorrow as there was a good selection today.

      Bill, they are commonly known as Bonking Beetles. It's rare to find one on it's own.

    Great name by the look of it. Incredible colour too. Nature is incredible.

    Not the shyest of beetles are they?
    Good luck with today's bug hunt...[;o)

      Margaret, I don't know what the little flies are. I'll try for some pictures later and there is also a tiny mite at the end of the females right antenna. I'll try and get 3 or 4X on the sensor.
