My best shot of a Hoverfly (Syrphus Ribesii) so far! Taken on the banks of the River Monnow, Monmouth, South Wales. 23/09/26. The Hoverfly is coming into a Cow Parsley (I think). Taken with a Nikon D500, Sigma 150-600mm at max zoom. 1250th at f8, ISO 3600 full manual mode. #ukinsects #hoverflies

The Ashy mining bee,Andrena cineraria,one of our solitary bees + an important pollinator. The bees fly from April until early June,most noticeably during the flowering periods of fruit trees.Nests are constructed in the ground, the entrances are surrounded by a volcano-like mound of excavated spoil.
