BUGS & BUTTERFLIES & BIRD (W/E 29/05/2015



A few images taken during trips out in the past week. I Have managed a few new species I find this  very interesting because there are thousands to find and identify.





Beetle Cantharis Rustica( St Gothian Sands NR 




Beetle Oedemera Nobilis ( St Gothian Sands NR )




Capsid Bug ( St Gothian Sands NR )
This is a new one for me, and as of yet not managed to find the specific species.



Chaffinch ( Buller Downs )




Common Blue ( St Gothian Sands NR )




Hoverfly Volucella Bombylans ( St Gothian Sands )

There are two species of this Hoverfly which mimic the Red-Tailed and White -Tailed Bumble Bee.
This is also a new species. 



Orange Tip Female ( St Gothian Sands NR 




Shield Bug Coreus Marginatus ( St Gothian Sands NR 




Wall Brown( St Gothian Sands NR )
