A square-format black and white macro photograph capturing a moment of natural predation. An ant is seen in sharp focus, gripping a much larger beetle that is lying on its back. The beetle's legs are thrust upward in the air, while the ant pulls at its underside. the background and foreground consist of a highly blurred, textured ground, creating a shallow depth of field that keeps the intense struggle as the central focus.

An early spring moth expertly blending into my tiled wall. Even its texture blends with the grains in the grout!

Saw Brimstone, Small White, Peacock and Comma butterfly today. The first two were moving endlessly, but I managed to catch pictures of the latter two. Lovely seeing more #ukbutterflies about now, even on a cool day. Lower Failand, North Somerset (02.04.26). #ukwildlife #insectphotography

With the sun shining it was nice to be pottering outside and tidying the garden. A delight late afternoon when this Holly Blue settled down on a climbing rose. Spring time is so uplifting. 🙂 (Bristol, 31.03.26) #ukbutterflies #ukwildlife #insectphotography

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.
