Found these objects between two sheets of plywood scrap that had been outside for some months. Obviously some insects, at least a dozen ... but which ? & when in their life-cycle ?

This butterfly bush was living up to it's name, with examples from at least four species either feeding or basking in the sun. Plus several bees ... There was a bit of a breeze and people walking around nearby, so catching a good image was quite difficult, especially as my camera was having a bad day. Maybe I had it on the wrong setting, or something.

Bee Heaven. This wild honeysuckle has been literally hummimg with various bees collecting pollen and nectar over the last few days. Bumble and honey bees mainly visiting in the day time and some moths at night. This native variety is very heavily scented, especially towards dusk.

This thistle is approaching five feet in height - I'll try and id it properly soon........ it is very attractive to bees, butterflies etc so I'll need to visit in the evening.

Scottish thistles, part of a large patch, literally humming with various bees, etc.
