Close Encounters at Paxton Pits

Another 30 degree-plus day yesterday so an earlyish walk at Paxton. Common Darters certainly dominated the insect life and were very confiding allowing  close approach. Pleased to see a female Beewolf wasp in the area where they bred last year - probably too early in the day for them to have captured bees. Other models included a Bee-grabber Fly (Sicus ferruginous), Nettle Bug( Liocoris tripustulatus) and Kite-tailed Robberfly (Tolmerus atricapilus)
