Well, a little bit anyway. Mind you, it's been a busy time over the last few weeks, down along Digger Alley. New species have turned up - this one's a Bear Clawed Nomad Bee no less!
and the ever popular Pointy Bum Bee has been a regular visitor
There's been sex....
and death
Those ants are excellent at clearing away anything littering the path! Everyone gets their own back when the ants start flying however
With these guys hawking up and down the path, snatching the ants from mid-air
Green Eyed Flower Bees are still busy - if a little worn. They have had a good year, we've had lots whizzing around us
Beewolves are still hunting
Jewel wasps are still glittering
and Sand Wasps are still hunting down their enormous caterpillar prey - amazing they can shift something that big!
You do need to keep your eyes peeled though - you never know who's sneaking up behind you....

They are surprisingly easy to miss - even though Digger Alley is so named because it's the path to the beach. It's one of the reasons Mrs WJ & I spend so much time there during the summer, pointing them out to people. They're endlessly fascinating :-)
