Insects in the Autumn Garden

Although the night-time temperatures dipped to near freezing the last two days, the sun has been warm and yesterday I recorded a large number of active insects including these very small Weevils on the hollyhocks, one of which appeared to be egg laying.

Lots of bees and wasps in the garden including a new one for the list, the parasitic species Nomada ferruginatus. I always love to see the first stages of the Speckled Bush Cricket.
