Sigh!

Lots here and worryingly I've come across several narcissus fly sunning themselves on pots of snowdrops...
But to lift the spirits I was delighted to see that the brimstone butterfly is a perfect colour match for Paeonia 'Sequestered Sunshine'. (Bad photo but joyful sight!)

Tristan, you are right about the red beetle, my mistake. I think it could be Pyrochroa coccinia.

Magpie moth.



Hoverfly.





Even a shallow bowl of water provides a drinking and bathing supply for wildlife in hot times.

Two rather  super  phots, taken from and  upstairs  window, through a  window  screen by  an American friend -  I think these  are  lovely. (I know  others  may disagree!)
