Hi gspca are you sure on that Identification? Have you checked in with an entomologist or the Guernsey Biological Records Centre? There are native Oil Beetles in the Channel Islands too. Max Barclay may be able to assist.

I would have thought there was nothing more innocuous than planting native primroses in my flowerbed, but I managed to instigate a power struggle between two ant colonies whilst doing so...

Just finished laying out the Stiletto Flies section of #FliesofBritainandIreland - the Coastal Silver-stiletto and the Common Stiletto are 2 of the 14 species of the photogenic Therividae family Gail Ashton 💚🪲🌍 Rory Dimond 🌼🪰🌼🐝🌼🦟 Steven Falk Dr Erica McAlister Dipterists Forum

Incredible!

The second male Buff-tailed Bumblebee I've seen in Herts in the last week. Seems gynes from overwintering colonies are overlapping with 'hibernated' queens now. Anyone else seeing similar? @MadgwickTony Steven Falk Charlotte Rankin ?

Best nest site ever!

A beauty! Andrena most likely pilipes but can’t be sure as A nigrospina very similar although they normally emerge a little later. Ian Beavis

Tomorrow is St. Mark's day and I just spotted my first St. Mark's fly of the year (Bibio marci, female) - keep an eye out for them! They're quite large, all-black flies and this one was at rest on a tree trunk.

Dandelions are looking splendid at the moment!

This is a female Tenthredo zona, a Sawfly. It caught my eye as it looked like a vespoid wasp from a distance - nr Wanstead Park. Appears to be the first record for East London and possibly second London record (21iv24). Larvae feed on St John's Wort . Rose Stephens🕷🐝🕸🐒🦇🐻🦊 WREN Group

Very cool to see that the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh is hosting a tracking study on Hairy-footed Flower Bees. They have only reached this far north in the past 10 years. Maybe a study by The University of Edinburgh ?

It's not just bees that are important pollinators, flies are too, like this Blotch-winged Hoverfly (Leucozona lucorum) getting suck-in to a Ramsons flower BBO Wildlife Trust's Whitecross Green Wood EARTHDAY.ORG Gail Ashton 💚🪲🌍 Rory Dimond 🌼🪰🌼🐝🌼🦟 Steven Falk Dr Erica McAlister #FliesofBritainandIreland
