Mainly sunny, 23°, breezy SW.
Out in the garden today with some interesting insects about.
I have a few ‘Bug Hotels’ out and are being used by some
solitary Bees and I noticed a Ruby-tailed Wasp species ( a cuckoo wasp) prowling
around the hotel. I’m assuming it’s Chrysis ignita rather than one of the rarer
species. It just happens to be a parasite of solitary bees.
Also a bug I am unable to identify and a Large Skipper
butterfly.
