A couple more pictures of dark-edged bee-fly (Bombylius major). These were taken at Lower Failand, North Somerset last week (19.03.26). Entries now on iRecord. #BeeFlyWatch #invertebrate #insectphotography #ukwildlife @uk-soldierflies.bsky.social
The dark-edged bee-fly (Bombylius major) are about now in the UK and through until late June. A bee-mimic with a long straight proboscis used for feeding (not stinging). They're good pollinators. Pictured today, Lamplighters Marsh NR, Bristol (26.03.26). #invertebrate #insectphotography #ukwildlife

Spotted A Black Potter Wasp
Delta pyriforme
A species of Delta
Distinctive in its solitary lifestyle, black potter wasp has some fascinating behaviors. It notably shapes clay nests in the form of elegant pots—a feat of nature's engineering in the insect world.

A close-up side profile of a Giant Owl Butterfly resting vertically on the textured brown bark of a tree. The butterfly’s wings are closed, revealing a complex pattern of fine, wavy cream and dark brown lines. A large, prominent circular eyespot dominates the lower wing, featuring a black centre ringed with bright yellow and a blue iridescent crescent. The background is a soft, out-of-focus mix of green leaves and bright bokeh light, creating a warm, tropical atmosphere.

A Cinnamon Bug on a leaf
