Another very good set Mike I really like the spider
The funny moth us a plume moth do you have any other shots of the small wasp it may be a bee it can be hard to tell.

Thanks Alf. I may have a couple of out of focus images of it that survived the cull. They were buzzing around the ivy and look very "waspish".

 

[mjmountain]

It's a "field digger wasp" apparently

I very much like the first four Mike.

Great set of images, you did well to capture the wasp, they're a bit shifty at the best of times.

Yeah. Tons of attempts for that foĺlowing it around the garden. This one was taken at full stretch with the camera raised above my head and screen tilted back so I could see what I was doing.
