Ants In Your Pants

Last Monday was a Day Of The Flying Ants [perhaps a bit overdue here] [[Yes, this post certainly is.. C'mon, you shocked??]].

"Raaaaargh!!"

Thus we had the inevitable kettle of gulls, me trying to photo them in vain hope of Something Good in with them [there never is but that won't stop me], also Swifts! and, well, some more insects. Yes, moffs and The Beasts.. :D

Ok, let's get on with it;

Gulls. Check.

[I did, they're all Herring]

Swifts!

[Lots - how many can you see?]

The Horror continues in my Hawthorn [oh, there's a post title there  :D ], as marauding Ladybird larvae cut a - not quite bloody but squishy inside-y bitty - swath through the Aphid hordes... Now joined by new adults, too!

I'm suddenly reminded of Outlander*

[*The film, not the series]

This one wandered off - 

they scuttle very quickly!

Another Ladybird joins the ranks

Strike a pose, dahlingk

Right, more moffs to be shown;

Four-spotted Footman

Dingy Footman

Yet another version of

Riband Wave

Least Carpet

Tawny-speckled Pug

[cognata]

Double-striped Pug

Single-dotted Wave

Small Emerald!

Pug sp.
[There are several pugs with those black spots on the forewing,
 a few with the big bar across the body, 
but I can find none with both...?!?]

Cue micros;

Beautiful camo

Feathered Plume

Another plume

Nice barring

Part moth, part tuning fork

Lacewing

And some plants, too

Hawkweed

Nipplewort

White Stonecrop

Also;

House Sparrow

1st brood juvenile

Overflowing with them at the Folks'

Small White

Right, I think that's enough.
