Butterflies & Bumblebees

Just a few random images from today in the garden.

If anyone ever spots any mistakes on the site with my IDing of butterflies/bees, etc., please correct me!

I'm still practising with the macro lens so excuse any shoddy attempts :o)



Red-tailed bumblebee - you can see the pollen the bee has collected just above the leg

Meadow brown

I can't believe how far along your buddleia is! I have a white one that won't be blooming for quite a while yet. You could tell big fat lies about bee and moth I.D. and I'd believe you for I am hopeless. Quite good at butterflies though so don't try anything sneaky.
