Finally, Dark-bordered Bee Fly poses for photo. Choisya is a better plant for insects than I’d thought…
I’m going with Beautiful Hook-tip for this lichen-look-a-like caterpillar. What do you think? Corrections welcome. I had an adult come to light in June last year. Suburban garden in Wolverhampton. #moths
First Green-veined White of the year in my garden. @BCWarwickshire @savebutterflies
A very dark Shieldbug in the garden: possibly a Birch or a Parent Shieldbug. #shieldbugs
Certainly worth deploying the trap down by the bins last night: 5:5, with Grey Pine Carpet and a very dark Common Marbled Carpet NfY. Also Twenty-plume Moth, Oak-tree Pug and Early Grey. @pmandrews1973 @BCWarwickshire
Earlier today, a Lesser Yellow Underwing caterpillar in the front garden, I’d guess final instar from the size. #caterpillars @rlewington2
It’s really too windy to be trapping tonight, but I’m desperate and I’ve always wanted to try the sunken area where the wheelie bins live and tonight is bin night, so a space has opened up…
Some new flowers appearing this week: Red Campion; Cuckoo Flower; Hawthorn. All at @ladywalk_nr #wildflowerhour @wildflower_hour
Well-developed Southern Hawker nymph (4cm long) from my pond this morning (doing a bit of pond dipping for @citnatchallenge) @EcoRecording @BDSdragonflies
I’ve noticed these small pond-skaters type insects on the surface of my pond; finally managed to catch one and ID it as the Water Cricket (actually a type of bug) Velia caprai. @EcoRecording
Completely accidental leaves in my coffee: look a bit like Oxeye Daisy to me..
I’ve been seeing Hairy-footed Flower Bees around the garden for a couple of weeks now, but this is the first one that I’ve managed to photograph. A female on Green Alkanet. #solitarybees
Too cold to put the trap out tonight but at least there’s a Brown Housemoth (NFY) in the hall!
Made the acquaintance of a new spider on the garden ivy today: Diaea dorsata. I think this is a female? @BritishSpiders @Tone_Killick @ivysuckle #spiders
1st Scorpionflies of the year seen @RSPBMiddleton 21/04/24, Panorpa sp #Mecoptera #Scorpionfly
Two Andrena species on Choisya in the garden this afternoon: a male Chocolate Mining Bee (Andrena scotica) and a female Orange-tailed Mining Bee ( Andrena haemorrhoa) with the second shot showing her orange 'tail'. #bees #solitarybees @SolitaryBeeWeek @StevenFalk1
Two Nomad Bee species in the garden on Sunday: Nomada marshamella and Nomada flava/panzeri, both males. I'm wondering if the second can be pinned down as Nomada flava, as it seems to have short hairs on the femora that @StevenFalk1 says is characteristic of flava males.
More insects from Footherly this morning: two species of Dance Flies, Empis trigramma and Empis tesellata. The Caddis Limbephilus auricula and my first Helophilus pendulus of the year. @StaffsEcology

Just been reminded by @flygirlNHM its #WorldRobberflyDay so here is the most impressive UK robberfly and one of the most impressive UK insects, and a personal favourite of mine - The Hornet Robberfly! @DipteristsForum @insectweek @bugmanjones
I collected a Snout (Hypena proboscidalis) #caterpillar on the 5th April, and this afternoon it emerged as an adult - rather early for the species, I believe, but that could be from being inside a warm house #entomology #insects #moths #mothsmatter #vc40
Ok folks - it’s #WorldRobberflyDay Let’s see all your photos!! Let’s hear those stories @SoldierfliesRS @dipterists @dipteristsForum @RoyEntSoc @TDikow @StevenFalk1
@flygirlNHM @SoldierfliesRS @dipterists @dipteristsForum @RoyEntSoc @TDikow @StevenFalk1 There was the time I took the Curator of Diptera at the NHM to Thursley Common to see a Hornet robberfly for the 1st time and we managed to find one. I have a photo of her face when she 1st saw it somewhere....but she may kill me if I share it 🤣🤣🤣

Hatton's Garden: Finished erecting our new bird feeding station. It was up & running by 5.10pm, by 5.30pm it was full of birds. Who tells them! 2x Blackbirds, 4x Starlings & 4x House Sparrows, great start! I know we have Goldfinch & Tits on the estate, can't wait to see them.
@SteveJTurner76 @ruth_newby It’s a belter. Nicest one I’ve found in the garden.
Almost live from the garden pond. My first thought was dragonfly larva, but I've since had Caddisfly suggested to me and it does indeed look to be lugging round a case. Would be grateful for any thoughts.
@WheatersDave @mickey_ratfink 😁 I'm trying to grow my own moths out there. I likes them nice and fresh, you see.
@the_proggler @mickey_ratfink Is this an attempt to muscle in on @SteveJTurner76 micro moth factory, but only using natural ingredients??
@the_proggler Superbly unkempt and hopefully great for nature. If it attracts too many good moths this year, me and @mickey_ratfink will be up with the lawnmower and weed killer 😉
@SteveJTurner76 😁 I likes to grow my own. Moths, that is.
@the_proggler Garden is looking great…too great actually. I’m concerned what moths all of that wildness might pull in.
Two garden firsts-for-the-year in quick succession: a male Orange Tip, and whilst I was unsuccessfully stalking it, five Housemartins chattered over. The garden itself is now looking quite wild. Too wild, some might say (my father for example; perhaps my neighbours).
