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.
