Some of the species recorded in the garden in the last couple of days including two new species the Square-headed Wasp and a minute White Fly that looked like a piece of detritus until it landed for a photograph.

Bugs, Beetles and Hoppers at Lakenheath
It was overcast and quite cool at the start of our RPS visit to Lakenheath though it did warm up in the late afternoon. There were lots of different insects and spiders to find, photograph and identify though not in the usual large numbers there. Here is a selection of Hemiptera, Coleoptera and Orthoptera (Pentastoma rufipes Forest bug; Picromerus bidens Spiked Bug; Coreus marginatus Dock Bug; Lygus pratensis; Hetercercus fenestratus; Oulema melanopus Cereal leaf beetle; Blepharida rhois Leaf beetle; Anthocomus rufus flower beetle; Philaenus spumarius X 2 Meadow leaf hopper ; Conocephalus fuscus Long-winged Conehead; Tetrix subulata SlenderGround Hopper)

Lackford wide-angle Insects
The only insects that we photographed other than dragonflies at Lackford Lakes were very small insects in a patch of fleabane. No doubt if we had stopped and closely studied other areas, there would have been more small insects and spiders. These are taken with 23mm fixed lens on Fuji X100V with Raynox closeup lens - a lighting system would have been useful as the aperture used was too wide to get adequate depth of field so close.
