Sheild Bug - I love shield bugs, they're
the best, like little alien knights in camouflaged armour! This is a Forest Shield I think?
Chafer - one of the lesser chaffers, common
Garden Chaffer or something. And Insect porn! Oh baby, is that your wing-case
or are you pleased to see me!
Caterpillar - There are so many
caterpillars in green with a pale stripe down them I daren't try to ID it as a
rank amateur, but it'll be one of the Whites
. . . probably!
Weevil - or not? My absolute all time
favourite insect might not be the weevil it appears to be at all, but rather a
faux-weevil called the Aspen Beetle
or Byctisus Populi, although given
the size of most of these (common on our hazelnut) I think they may actually a
weevil, the weevil the Aspen
pretender is pretending to be - if you have an aspen rather than a hazel?
Bees - A selection of bees!
Mixed - an Ichueumon Fly (kind of parasitic wasp) or other wasp, possibly a Field Digger top left, a Hover-Fly below it; possibly one of the Sun Flies and two shots of a Cockchaffer or 'May Bug', they never
come out - the flying shots - camera doesn't know what it's looking at, or
where!
Lilly Beetles - invasive species, damaging,
they both died, but they're pretty.

Great pics of the Real Small World!
Thanks Phil, I've taken better ones June/July, but they may have to wait until September!
