| The wasps are very busy at the moment, stripping wood from fences for their nests and hunting small insects to feed to their larvae |

| Self-seeded poppies are held in high regard in the bumblebee community |
 |
| Scarlet tiger moths (caterpillars thereof posted about previously) are now active and are certainly generating interest amongst staff and visitors! Beautiful things |

That's a wopping great wasp Bertie. They are driving me mad at the moment, all I can hear in the garden is them scratching at the fence. I just want to know where they are building that nest! Great photos as always!
Dear Bertie, Your photographs are wonderful! YOur butterflies are brilliant, and I love the scarlet tiger moth. Our summer butterflies are slow to appear this year. I look forward to posting pictures of them in my garden soon. P.
A very beautiful post... especially the poppy! The butterflies are gorgeous! Larry
I'm with Pam...love your photographs. I have a litle sign in my garden that says 'Welcome all Bees and Butterflies'. Your bees made me think of that.
You've got a lot more butterflies than we have up north. I'm hoping for some warmer weather and a few more sightings when the buddleia comes into bloom. The photo of the scarlet tiger moth is so beautiful I haven't seen one before.
