Crete has a wonderful range of Grasshoppers and Crickets - here are just a few with tentative IDs.

Beetles in Crete

Continuing through the insects etc photographed in Crete in mid-April, here are some Beetles, including a pair of Tiger beetles, a difficult species to find and photograph in the UK but present in their hundreds on one of the stony hillsides that we visited.

Cretan Butterflies

I am gradually sorting and identifying all the insects I saw in Crete and have completed the butterflies - most are ID shots only but great to be remidend of the sightings of Swallowtails, Festoons etc

 

Orchids in Crete

This is an attempt to collate and share the orchid images that I took during a recent week in Crete. I am not certain of one or two IDs but hopefully their beauty and variety can be appreciated - a wonderful experience.
