StephOC 6 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi Kay, Cracking set of pictures again! first fly, not sure, then the green one is a sheild bug. I don't know my snails... Hoverfly of some sort And Bombus hortorum - the garden bumblebee. A lovely bumblebee! Really like that you can see it extending its tounge. Will try and look up the species of the other photos later on if I get time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
