Bees, Butterflies and Bee flies in the Garden

The white comfrey in the garden always attracts lots of bees - here a female Hairy-footed Flower Bee and an Early Bumblebee worker. Great to find an Osmia cornis mating pair. Holly blues and Orange Tip butterflies are everywhere in the garden at the moment as are Bee-flies, feeding on the hedge garlic. The latter images are taken at 1/4000th second with electronic shutter and the wing has recorded in more than one position. A small Zebra jumping spider completes the line up.
