Life Among the Thistles and Nettles

We spent the afternoon at Lark Rise Farm Barton looking for butterflies but, as these were keeping their heads down in the strong winds, I photographed some of the insects on the nettles and thistles along the field edge protected from the winds using 100 mm macro 25mm extension tube and small flash. These are in order Dolichopus spp., Thaumatomyia notata, Green bottle (Lucilia sericata), Scorpion Fly, Lygocoris pabulinus (Green capsid), Deraeocoris ruber, Soldier Beetleswith 14 spot Ladybird (Propylea 14-punctata) and finally a bug with splendid antennae (Heterotoma planicornis)
