The very beautiful visitor from far flung Africa a Painted Lady Butterfly is feeding on the florets of a deep purple Buddleia.

This Buff-tailed Bumblebee is just launching herself into the air from the Knapweed flower she has completely depleted of nectar.

The beautiful #paintedladybutterfly on #buddleia I grew from a cutting from a neighbour's garden is rather special for its colour #preservation.

I’m following the buzz around the garden right now. The deep buzzing sound of the lovely #bufftailedbumblebee #wueens is mesmerising! Right now thy are feeding on my perennial borage. Such a great #bumblebee plant. Read more here: addictedtobees.com?p=82

A sleeping Buff-tailed Bumblebee on a Viburnum tinus shrub, with her body resting on a leaf and her face buried in some blossom. She is a large bee, around 2cm long, mostly black but with a narrow orange stripe across her thorax and a broader one in the middle of her abdomen, and a white tail with orange hair mixed in, making it appear "buff".

This ancient patch of #crocus push their way through the soil reliably every year. They are open bowls of food for early emerging #queenbumblebees like this beautiful #bufftailedbumblebee. It’s full of sugar rich #nectar & protein rich #pollen! Tr& buy #organic to keep #bumblebees safe from toxins!
