This bumblebee has taken up quite a bit of my time. It has 3 yellow bands, a white tail, long antennae, black hair above the eyes and no pollen baskets. The body hair is also long. I reckon it's the male of the cuckoo bumblebee -
Bombus bohemicus. I showed the female back in
April.
No identification problems with the Ringlet butterfly. These have been appearing as singles for the last week or so.
This Ichneumonid looks like
Ablyteles armatorius, but so do 100 others.
This is the larva of the 14-spot ladybird. It's about 5 mm long.

Although I love the softness of your moths, the bee is my favourite, and I was delighted to see one featured today.
