It’s #NationalInsectWeek & here are some of the Fly (Diptera, Syrphidae) pollinators around at the moment

Hoverflies are some of the most important pollinators & rather beautiful too. They have hardworking larvae on top!

I saw a post yesterday that claimed it's National Insect Week, so I'm posting this photo of a bug on our Ocean Mist bush. I just liked the way it looks but I don't know what it is.

This golden-ringed dragonfly is 'ovipositing' – laying her eggs in the sediment at the bottom of a stream. Have you ever seen this in person?

The female golden-ringed dragonfly is the biggest of all UK dragonfly species at a whopping 8.5cm long!

From David Bentley: "Castle Water, Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, is buzzing with grasshoppers and crickets. This is Roesel's Bush-cricket, with its cream-coloured, curved edge to the pronotum ('collar')." #NationalInsectWeek

For #nationalinsectweek took some action shots of this Bee Wolf Philanthus triangulum in flight & digging out its hole in Oxon's amazing Corallian sands that are so like the Brecks. Came back later with paralysed honey bee worker & straight down the hole. @royentsoc.bsky.social

I have recently built a pond and I am creating a new wildlife area. It was great watching this red admiral basking on the rocks around the pond this morning.

Thick-legged Flower Beetle AKA Swollen-thighed Beetle or False Oil Beetle. All beetles have biting mouthparts & 'beetle' likely stems from the Old English 'to bite.' They can feed on many food-sources - plant & fungal matter or other animals 📸 Milly Manley #NationalInsectWeek

A very blurry Bee captured (sort of) from a low angle, hovers above a partly open purple poppy flower, which sits atop a twisty slender green stalk. The bloom's dark veined and glossy surface shimmers in evening sunlight. The background is a tired looking grey wood fence, garden greenery to the left and pale blue sky speckled with fluffy white clouds above (yes, obviously above). Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

Beetle banks are used in farmland to boost insect diversity and provide natural pest control, but you can also build one in your own garden! 🪲

The ground might be a bit hard with recent weather, but beetles and other invertebrates will really appreciate this, especially as it's #NationalInsectWeek!
