  ... and of *course* I spotted some #wasps on today's wall safari. Almost completely unidentifiable, as usual. Tiny thing from the Ichneumonoidea (admittedly seen on a different, nearby wall) Small, alien-looking wasp from the Crabronidae - possibly Crossocerus sp.? https://www.naturespot.org/family/crabronidae Mystery wasp! Possibly from the Pompilidae - the spider-hunters? #Derbyshire #insects #macrophotography

  Today's bug from a garden safari - a small moth with absurdly long antennae. In flight, an ethereal, flickering presence - with those antennae waggling around in the sunshine... Adela reaumurella? https://www.naturespot.org/species/adela-reaumurella #Derbyshire #insects #moths #macrophotography

  From yesterday - a fantastically named Hairy-footed Flower Bee, Anthophora plumipes. (Look at the really long hairs on the lower parts of his front legs!) https://www.naturespot.org/species/hairy-footed-flower-bee #Derbyshire #insects #bees #macrophotography
