A quiet moment on a buttercup… until a striped visitor suddenly swooped in! 🌼🐝

Did this hoverfly chase the smaller fly away—or was it attempting a tiny kidnapping? Nature’s little dramas happen so quickly! 😄

#InsectThursday The recent rain has brought the ivy flowers out, and whilst I'm yet to find an ivy bee, 'batman' has been out in force! These are batman #hoverfly, so called for their symbol on their thorax. A little chunkier than more common hoverfly, very gentle and great looking! #pollinators

Looks like #wasp mimicry to trick #birds from eating it...

Little discoveries from today’s walk: heart-shaped wood sorrel, a bright #buttercup, raindrops on a fallen leaf, and a #hoverfly resting on a flower. Sometimes the smallest details make a walk special. 🌿💛💧
