Oxford inverts


A cloudy but warm day near Oxford today produced a decent array of inverts including a few beautiful demoiselles. Also a good selection of butterflies, hoverflies and beetles, amongst many other things!


Yellow and black longhorn beetle.


Volucella zonaria, a hornet mimic hoverfly.


Ringlet, a common species "down south" but always a nice sight for us northerners.


It's a similar story with marbled white, common in the south but doesn't extend into north west England.
