Yesterday's Butterfly Bonanza walk was a great success other that the fact that there were no butterflies bar two Small Whites.... It basically became an Insect Afternoon walk and at least there were lots of hoverflies, spiders, other flies and a few damsels around..... We all had great afternoon in the end!
Small White (Sarah Wynn-Jones)
Blue-tailed Damselfly (Sarah Wynn-Jones)
Eristalinus sepulchralis - a hover with spotty eyes! (HV)
Eupeodes luniger (I reckon!) (HTV)
Parhelophilus versicolor - another hover (HTV)
Lucilia caesar - The Greenbottle.... uber-cool (HTV)
