Black legs and wide yellow bands on the body...I'm thinking more Long Banded Longhorn beetle. |

Another moth in our stairwell...  Large Tabby? by SteveH, on Flickr I'm moderately sure of the ID - but confused about a barn-dwelling, chaff/dung eating moth being where it is... |

Lots of these candy striped spiders on foxgloves just now. Enoplognatha ovata in Midlothian but in other places you need a microscope to distinguish them from E. latimana if they are also present. There's 3 colour variations to find too.  |

I think the dragonfly is a four spotted chaser. Butterfly is definitely a marbled white.

Something about our block of flats attracts moths...  Banded Tiger Moth by SteveH, on Flickr Fluttered off after a couple of not great shots - probably didn't like having its personal space invaded.  |

Hanging around. Southern Hawker. They were flying around with occasional halts - hard to spot in cover.  DSCF8433.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

A few gatekeepers around - some whites in flight, not possible to id, I thought I saw a painted lady but missed the shot. Basically no butterflies compared to last year.  DSCF8420.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

a badly focussed shot of a Common Darter  DSCF8392.jpg by Pete, on Flickr bit of a waste photographically - but nice stroll. |

DSCF8420.jpg by Pete, on Flickr Everyone is reporting the same. Even when there are a few butterflies, they are no where near the numbers of previous seasons. |
