July Garden 'Bugs' (Hemiptera)

The Knapweed, Teasels, and Loostrife are attracting lots of Plant bugs including a new species for my records,Oncotylus viridiflavus and lots of nymph stage Dock Bugs.  Some interesting fly species including the Waisted Bee Grabber - does what it says- jumps on Bees and lays its egg in the abdomen of the bee which is then gradually consumed from inside!.
