I really like bees and out of all the groups out there, my top five bee genera are:
1. Andrena
2. Sphecodes
3. Osmia
4. Bombus
5. Nomada
The last three are in no particular order, I simply cannot decide how to order those three.
Speckled bush cricket nymph, Leptophyes punctatissima, that I found in my garden.

Over here in the UK, we are currently going through a heat wave. It's boiling hot but at least Oedemera beetles seem to like the weather :)

I think I'll post my art here more often. :))
A bunch of fly doodles from a few weeks ago. It's fun playing around with bug anatomy and trying to stylise it.

Just saw a European kingfisher!!! I'm so happy! It flew off right before I could snap a photo but I can't describe how happy I am to finally see this bird. I have wanted to see this species for years now :)
I hope this specific individual is a frequent visitor to this area because that would be amazing. I really need to get a photo of this bird.
Still one of my favorite captures. A #fireweed bud #gall midge, Dasineura epilobii, oviposits on a fireweed bud next to an associated #parasitic #wasp (Platygastridae) also ovipositing on the same bud. In situ single shot photo.

I saw some ticks today. A lot of people hate them for feeding on blood and being capable of spreading diseases but I think they're interesting little creatures.
Genus Ixodes, I think, for both individuals.
