I don’t need to be asked twice to reprise photos from my bugs and butterflies archive. And this week at Lens-Artists, Donna is doing the asking.

Comma butterfly on Doronicum ‘Little Leo’ aka Leopard’s Bane.

Peacock and the bee.

*

Marmalade hoverfly visiting the crocosmia, a variety which I’m pretty sure also had marmalade in its name.

*

And another kind of hoverfly on a lace flower.

*

Elephant hawk-moth found one day on the garden wall.

*

This ladybird has found the perfect ‘platform’ on a Dyer’s chamomile daisy.

*

White-tailed bumble bee ‘bathing’ in Hollyhock pollen.

*

We could call this a bee line: oriental poppy here we come. BZzzzzz!

Lens-Artists: What’s bugging you? That’s this week’s question from Donna at Wind Kisses. Go see her fine gallery of close-up bugs, bees and butterflies.
