An unexpected 2nd generation Andrena haemorrhoa (Orange-tailed Mining Bee) visiting ivy blossom at Ivington, near Leominster, yesterday. Normally a single-brooded spring-flying species. @StevenFalk1
I saw hundreds of Firebugs today in my local cemetery all on tree trunks leaves etc, all under Lime Trees.
Do these posts drilled with holes
Actually get used for intended purpose you may ask. Not only have Leaf Cutter bees nested, but also Isodontia Mexicans looks to have used them too. @CodyDock
What looks like juvenile Blackbird from the garden. It is very friendly and pops up when I sit out in the garden. It is ground feeding but seems unaware of danger. @RSPBNELondonGrp
Pyrrhocoris apterus Fire Bugs at various stages on a Lime Tree Seed. These little bugs seem to be in large numbers and spreading fast locally. Most are short winged forms but I have seen a few Long winged forms which might explain their quick dispersal. @BritishBugs @iancbeavis

Purple Emperor had a good year in Norfolk in 2025. It will be interesting to see if they expand their range further this summer. Could be on the wing now. #savebutterflies ๐ท Iain Leach BC
A cub from the back of a garden seen from our local cemetery. A special moment. #FoxOfTheDay
A joy to see today, mum feeding her cubs this morning. Cemeteries are such important spaces for wildlife in London, in this present climate where so many flats are being built on any natural area. #FoxOfTheDay
#OlympicPark We saw three Painted Lady butterflies today which is quite a good number here in one day as in previous years I might only see three in a season. I noticed # Norfolk had quite a few this year. @uk_butterflies
#OlympicPark A Welsh Chafer on Yarrow today. A small but interesting looking Chafer.
The colour of these Bombus humilis in comparison to Bombus pascuroum is quite different although I have seen queens of Common Carder with a very bright colour which is similar at a glance. @iancbeavis @noordinarypark #OlympicPark
The wonderful Misumena vatia with what looks like Uniglumis sp wasp prey today #OlympicPark @noordinarypark @BritishSpiders @Tone_Killick
This bee was such a beauty to see. The colour was so fresh. Iโm guessing Colletes similis the thorax was a bright reddish brown. @iancbeavis #OlympicPark #E20 @noordinarypark
#OlympicPark #E20 @noordinarypark spotted today at the Park. Osmia spinulosa mating pair. @iancbeavis Those eyes are just so beautiful! Iโm glad I didnโt disturb them too much.
I havenโt seen these before. Maybe a Bay Sucker but very interesting behavior @iancbeavis
Spotted today on a garden wall. At first I thought it was Hypositticus pubescens but not so sure. @BritishSpiders @Tone_Killick
There were hundreds of these Firebugs at my local cemetery today. Males and females the one at the end looks like a winged specimen. @iancbeavis @BritishBugs @bugmanjones #E7ManorPark
Spotted these European Fire Bugs Pyrrhocoris apterus in my local cemetery. There were quite a number of them @BritishBugs @iancbeavis
