Red seems to be the colour of the moment. This Fire Bug (and here) was flitting about near our Silver Birch.
The Kidney-spot Ladybird had rather more black than red, but was a welcome addition to the garden fauna. I have logged it on iRecord via the UK Ladybird Survey.
And now for one of my favourites: my first Ruby-tailed Wasp of the season ...
These wasps are always hard to photograph. They are small, quick, metallic and camera-shy! They are also quite beautiful.
