Rather like this photography I got of a sunlit bumblebee on flowering teasel #nature #bumblebee #wildflowers #photography

Evening blue sky folk, got a few butterflies for you. Tricky day, painful leg rash has turned out to be cellulitis, maybe. #nature #butterflies #wildflowers #photography

My sister bought supermarket scabious and the bees love it #nature #bee #wildflowers #photography

My beginner artworks never get very much traction, done as they are quickly, in a welter of ticcy hand movements... Here's the same garden subject matter in oil pastels and watercolour. #nature #art #wildflowers #illustration

Creeping cinquefoil turning our campus yellow, much to the joy of the bumbles. #nature #wildflowers #bumblebees #photography

Leafcutter bee, mason bee and a mint moth! #nature #bees #wildflowers #photography

It's been a filthy day out there, but in a rare sunny intervals found a few bee orchids in the ultra glam smoking shed area #nature #wildflowers #photography

Managed to catch a buff tailed bumblebee in flight today. God knows how. My brain is dead after too much people stuff. #nature #photography #bumblebee #autism

So many pollinators in the library gardens that the flowers are getting double booked #nature #photography #bumblebees #wildflowers

The library gardens are just stunning at the moment #nature #photography #wildflowers

This lovely broad bodied chaser occupies the nature pond area in the library nature reserve. Not the biggest dragonfly around but really stands out. #nature #dragonfly #photography

Painted ladies everywhere. Even on our campus loving the dogwood. I'll be upset if you don't like these beauties! I'll tic insanely at you. #nature #butterfly #photography

All sorts of odd but not too rude verbal tics today. Although one startled a Portuguese lady when she used the fridge. So, Tourettes walk needed, and a slightly tired holly blue butterfly found on the cherry laurel. #nature #butterfly #tourettes #wildflowers #photography

Painted ladies very numerous this UK spring. Several in the library gardens today. #nature #wildflowers #butterfly

Old chapel and home to one of our town swift colonies #photography #nature

Been trying some astronomy sketches with pastels. I think an astronomer might be able to tell what they are but god knows. #astronomy #art #sketching

Always nice to see one of the great characters of the insect world back out and about on a suddenly warm afternoon. The swollen thighed flower beetle. #nature #insect #wildflowers #photography

Finally got a photo of a red tailed bumblebee. There doesn't seem to be many around, so to meet this young lady was a bit of a relief. Seems to be enjoying the meadow Clary #nature #wildflowers #bumblebee #photography

Me and my shadow! Found this box bug on the Japanese roses on campus during afternoon Tourettes walk #nature #insect #shieldbug #photography #tourettes

Found some lovely bumblebees out today despite the windy, slightly cool weather. Early bumblebee and common carder. Please show them some love. And me for that matter. Tourettes is tiring today. #nature #bumblebee #wildflowers #photography #tourettes
