After sifting through some mollusc samples from north Norfolk, we were delighted to find this little rove beetle, Micropeplus staphylinoides. Not often recorded on NBN Atlas . Maybe due to its 2mm length! Distinguished from M.fulvus by its rear vertex #beetle #norfolk

No clear photos but was delighted to see the waxwings in saxmundham, Suffolk today! Lovely birds!!

A flower fly (Syrphus ribesii) summoning circle! 😈 🧙‍♀️ #nature #fly #suffolk

Saw this breathtakingly strange green longhorn moth (Adela reaumurella) on a site in Suffolk earlier in the week! Look at the size of those antennae! #moth #nature #insects #suffolk

I believe this is a Hebrew character moth (Orthosia gothica) found in the house #moth #nature

My first speckled wood of the year! And there were several! #butterfly

It’s been a while but here is species 5 and 6 of my #ladybirdyearlist ! The 24-spot (subcoccinella vigintiquatuorpunctata) and the 10-spot (Adalia decempunctata) ladybird. Both similar in size and quite small. The 10 spot has many forms. #nature #insect

Finally spring! My first beefly of the year! A dark edged beefly (Bombylius major) #nature #suffolk #spring

A pair of hairy rose beetles (Tropinota squalida) from Mallorca #beetle #nature

Not just your average fly. A dark-edged bee-fly (Bombylius major). One of the true signs spring is underway and always a welcome sight. That is unless you're a ground-nesting mining bee, in which case it is most unwelcome.

Some of the orchids found while in Mallorca! Sawfly, naked man, giant, and mirror orchid. #orchid #nature #mallorca

Some of the amazing birds seen on a trip to Mallorca earlier in the week. Audouin's Gull, red knobbed coot, night herons and stalks! I’m no birder but what a treat!! #birds #mallorca

Was amazing to see a pair of peregrine falcons on site yesterday. Mating displays, copulation and courtship feeding all observed!

Waving hello! 🐝 #bee #savethebees #suffolk #nature

Was good fun! Learnt a lot and saw some great critters!

Found these on an oak leaf last week. They look to be eggs but does anyone know what from? #nature #Unknown #photograghy

I’m being watched #nature #insect #photograghy

Today we headed into the Sumatran wilderness to look for a titan and look: we found it. The titan atum is the world's largest unbranched inflorescence, and one of nature's greatest wonders. To see one in cultivation is a treat; but to see one in the wild is special.

A European nursery web spider (Pisaura mirabilis) #nature #spider #suffolk

Always happy to see a Minotaur beetle (Typhaeus typhoeus) #nature #Suffolk
