Je ne sais plus dans quel contexte c’était mais il y a quelques années, j’ai entendu (ou lu) la phrase « La vie des abeilles solitaires appartient aux chapitres les plus attachants de la biologie animale ». Je ne sais plus d’où ou de qui elle provient ni ce qu’elle signifie. Évidemment je pourrais la chercher sur internet (et peut-être découvrir que je l’ai imaginée) mais où serait l’intérêt ? 😁
Mais bref, voilà une abeille. Bien que quand on pense « abeille » on pense ruche et vie en société, la majeure partie du genre Apis est composée d’espèces d’abeilles solitaires, qui ne travaillent que pour elles 😌

Definitely one of my favorite photos from last year so I thought I'd re-post.

To me it kinda feels like the Eurasian tree sparrow is inviting you to explore the interior of the hornet's nest 👀.

I struggle with what to write sometimes. I mean, is "I saw a wasp on the fence yesterday" really sufficient?

Anyway. I saw a wasp on the fence yesterday.

Macro shot of damselfly (female white-legged maybe?) feeding on what appears to be some kind of fly I saw yesterday.

Corrections or more accurate species identification welcome! 🙂

Here's my finished, coloured Procretevania exquisita drawing. This was a hatchet wasp from the Yixian Formation of China; hatchet wasps still exist today and specialise in parasitising cockroach ootheca.

Found this beautiful one, mostly-dead/waking up from a winter coma, on my attic. Brought her out and put into a plate of sugar water. She took about ten minutes to wake up and then there was intensive splashing & drinking. Success! (Both wings are fine!)

A new hoverfly for me, the Crimson-belted Hoverfly (Brachypalpoides lentus). A predominantly woodland species, breeding in dead wood. not the best photo, but the only one I was able to get!

Woundwort Shieldbug (Eysarcoris venustissimus) in . Over the past few years I have found these more frequently than in previous years.
