Great Variety of Wildlife at Welney 1. Insects

Having rained hard all night, it stayed dry during our visit to Welney and the banks were teeming with insects, spiders and snails. Here some of my favourite insects including a hoverfly lookalike, Stomorhina lunata and a beautifully illuminated Marmadale Hoverfly. A small orange fly (Scathophaga) was enjoying a Chironomid midge for lunch, and numerous others including an elegant Willow Emerald Damselfly, a 22-Spot Ladybird, an Angleshade Moth, a Cereal Leaf Beetle, a Green Tortoise Beetle, and a Dung Fly complete the cast.
