What is buzzing or flying near you today??

Great pic kryssy! and what a wonderful russet colour he is too.

I found a furry one in the garden last week but just couldn't catch it right, the bristles kept coming out blurry.

 

Kedi the moth looks like a common White wave(cabera pusaria)the butterfly is the Speckled wood (Pararge aegeria)your cute little beastie is a sap sucking insect called a Froghopper interesting little insect related to both aphids and cicadas, it's the one you find in cuckoo spit (you don't want to know how they produce that substance called cuckoo spit)they can give the flea a good run for its money with their jumping abilities.

 

Hi Kedi as Walnut has said, the butterfly is a speckled wood.Fast becoming one of my favourite butterflies because of the way it tirelessly defends its territory, a joy to watch.

 

Thanks walnut and pip.

I have edited my post to include the info again walnut - then everyone immediately knows what they are looking at.

The Froghopper is still cute, and I did read somewhere where he produces the cuckoo spit.

 

Lovely pics KG and Kryssy, and useful info Walnut, I always wondered what came from cuckoo spit

 

Closer to the dragon.

 

Roders, fantastic picture

 

Oh, roders! lucky you to get such a fantastic shot! I am green with envy! You can even see how the wings grow out of the body.

 

Lots of good pics here since I last looked, but that really is a close up roders.

 

"Wow" thats some shot Roders well done.

 

Don't know if you know it's Aeshna cyanea - Southern Hawker (male)

 

Thanks for the kind comments....appreciated....but it's quite easy WHEN they sit still,just noticed you can even see the hairs on his chest.

Well captured.
