A lovely find today on my Broad bean leaves. Obsidentify tells me it's a Knot Grass Moth caterpillar. It's my ##insectoftheday

I'm so excited! There I was, admiring a beautiful patch of lavender, when this beautiful Hummingbird Hawk Moth appeared... and stayed to feed for quite some time. It was so close to me that I could hear the hum of it's wings. Totally magical #insectoftheday #moth #moths

Today's #insectoftheday is a beautiful Common Carder Bumblebee, happily enjoying the Vipers Bugloss on my allotment... and in doing so creating a lovely photo 😊

A late entry for today's ##insectoftheday are some ladybirds.... as pupae. The rain a couple of weeks ago led to an explosion of blackfly on my allotment... and then soon after an explosion of ladybirds to feast on them #allotment #allotmentlife ##growyourown

So today's #insectoftheday is another colourful beauty. The sun shining on it caught my attention on my allotment... it's a Common green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) (i think.... using Obsidentify as usual)

As we lurch into day 3 of #insectoftheday, i have to report that i have just discovered that i am not the original inventor of #insectoftheday.
But not to worry, here's today's of my little project. Gwynne's mining bee. What a beauty

So, day 2 of #insectoftheday from my allotment. I'm amazed I've kept out going this long actually... but here it is. The Hairy Shieldbug, scrabbling about in the sunshine. What a beauty

From my seated position on a log on my allotment, I've decided to start a daily theme of #insectoftheday (not sure how long it will last). The plan is I'll find a different critter every day and share it with you lovely people. Today (thanks to Obsidentify) I've found a Cucumber spider. A beauty.
