Any bug photos during August 2015

I think you have possibly been doing a little better up there than in the 'sunny south' lately, Donald. Very typical Bank Holiday weather here.



Raspberry Beetle. A small creature which can become a serious pest of fruit if it occurs in numbers.

And a couple of Ichneumon Wasps. Their larvae are parasites on various creatures particularly caterpillars.





We have had some excellent photographs posted here this month. So who is going to start off a new September thread?

Any idea on identity, Jim?

Over here we have Black Fungus Gnats (Sciaridae) which look rather similar.

Sorry, no ID. I will ask someone.

[Ziggy]

I asked. It might be a Yellow collared scape moth.

I never thought about a daylight flying moth.

That particular one is definitely something we don't get over here.
