We are spending a 9 days in Hampshire with friends exploring some of the nature reserves etc. Unfortunately the weather doesn't look very good this week for insect photography with cool temperatures and cloudy or rainy skies. I expored some local meadows yesterday evening in light drizzle and was surprised how many different flies etc were sheltering in the foliage. I also found a grassing-loving Shield bug - the Tortoise Shield Bug, which I hadn't encountered before. the first is an Ichneumon wasp, Orgichneumon maybe - the family of Ichneumons is so vast that many have not been given common names or even scientific ones.
