                Found this fellow in my GH, it is called Alomya Debellor, and it is a parasitic wasp. The adults feed on nectar and aphid honeydew. The female lays her eggs into the caterpillars of butterflies and moths.:eeew:

                Ants busy feeding on the nectar and pollen in a Cobaea. Stocking up for winter perhaps:scratch:

                      Looks a bit "porky" - like he's been pigging out.

                        Last night I saw a Hedgepig in the garden for the first time in many years, I ran in the house to get Christina but it had scarpered when we came back. I waited a while silently but I could hear it rustling in the undergrowth in the next garden.

                        They must be getting ready for the big kip soon surely? :snooze:
