Garden Safari

You don't have to go far to find new things that you'd never heard of before - like this bug I found in the garden today whilst looking at wasps .


Deraeocoris ruber - or at least I'm pretty sure that's what it is.


I thought all the garden wasps were Common - but realised today that I'm getting a form of Median Wasp ..





Also loads of these in the garden:


Episyrphus balteatus


And a couple from the moth trap.


Nicrophorus investigator - a smelly mite-ridden burying beetle


Oak Bush-cricket
