There has been a much more rapid fall-off in the numbers and species of invertebrates in my daily garden recording this month than previous years. This would normally be a very busy time for spiders, bugs etc. Here almost the total species from September 12th (also Bumble bees - mainly Carder Bees, Green Bottles, Flesh flies etc). The Chalcid Wasp (?Torymus auratus) which is a parasite of Oak Gall wasps, is my favourite - very small (3mm) but eye-catching metallic green with ruby eyes
