Brief mid-chore stop




 


























A brief look for Figwort Sawfly was successful but the only obvious individual disappeared almost immediately; all the other yellow and black stuff were these Median Wasps of which there were many also taking advantage of figwort. The best of the pond's Odonata were Small Red-eyed Damsefly, new here for me. This Golden-haired Robberfly was a unexpected new-for-year.

Elsewhere just a single Chalkhill Blue and one or two Common Blues, one above.

And a Volucella zonaria was on Hemp Agrimony by the pond.
