It was in my Collins book of British Wildlife, and no, I've never heard of it before either, but there it was - in full technicolour!!

I've seen two ladybirds this week - so glad they are around! I do NOT want to see a Harlequin, I gather that they endanger the common ones. I must do what you do and carry my camera around to catch the wildlife in action! Well done - great photos and very clear! I've never heard of a Bee Fly either. Does it sting? I have strange black bees that burrow into the top border (the driest part of the garden) It's scary weeding there once they arrive! I must try to get a photo.
