'just' a yellow dungf fly ... For something that sits in muck for much of the day it has a somewhat cute face. It's one of those that facinates me when seeing it close up.

It was a chilly morning and everything was somewhat sleepy still while warming up on the first sunbeams. Usually butterflies are not keen on my going close up and so was pleased this orange tip butterfly didn't mind at the time.

Marsham's Nomad Bee (cuckoo bee) ... Out in great

Marsham's Nomad Bee (cuckoo bee) ... Out in great numbers this year too.

These wasp-like bees lay their eggs in the nest of other bee species, typically that of mining bees. And there are also huge numbers of mining bees around this year.

Often seen flying low over ground, on the look-out for a nest into which they will sneak and lay their eggs.

Thousands of these lazy flyers where out yesterday

Thousands of these lazy flyers where out yesterday in the sunshine. Nearby grazing land is left as is so it's growing 'wild' 2nd year - buzzing with the deep hum of the St Mark's flies ... Most otherworldly looking beings.

Seems an exceptionally good year for Dandelions! Never seen this many in all the pastures and lawns around here.

Perfect food for all kinds of insects and humans, too.

A big increase in bees of all sizes in our gardens. Much busier out there compared to the previous year, despite the lack of sunshine.

Spring is not far now and the first little beings

Spring is not far now and the first little beings are already out and about. One of my favourites are the tiny jumping spiders. Around here they are frequently found on stone walls.

Sawfly high on pollen? 😉 It looked so content in the centre of this dandelion. It absolutely didn't care about my lense being close up ... Must have been in food heaven. 😊

Small Friends

I took this some years ago. It is still one of my favourites. The little sawfly seems to smile at the camera.

We must never take our small friends for granted.

These tiny "fuzzy heads" are currently busy mating, seemingly preferring buttercups near woodland. Belongs to the Micropterigidae family.
