    Not sure on the first ones but that last one looks like a Common Carder bumblebee. Is that a ladybird sharing the second bee's flower?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Yes, looks like a cream ladybird. You have better eyes than me!

     It would be great to have you down here, WE you could offer a wildlife consultancy. You’d make fortune from visitors;  A walking encyclopaedia. I just feel frustrated knowing so little for certain on sight. 

    Amazing to see 13 wild storks circling over my tent, using the thermals. The breeding programme is going well.

    Would anyone know which caterpillar or moth this would turn into?
