Ein erster Gast auf meinem Balkon ๐ฅฐ
Die Hyazinthe habe ich vorgezogen gekauft, sie hat gestern angefangen, ihre Blรผten zu รถffnen.
Die Narzissen und Perlhyazinthen vom letzten Jahr brauchen noch ein bisschen.
Today's friend, is this cheerful hoverfly! Surely in the Syrphus genus, and likely a female S. ribesii - the common banded hoverfly! I say likely, as there are three main Syrphus species of hoverfly found in the UK that are very hard to distinguish, luckily this lady has a distinctive yellow hind femur or I'd have no hopes of an ID ๐
Their strange slug-like larvae feed on aphids, helping to keep plants healthy, and the adults feed on nectar while helping to pollinate flowers ๐ฅฐ

Have been trying to get into the habit of posting one bug picture a week to Instagram so I figured I might as well post them here too!
This is one of my fav pics! Oedemera nobilis (false oil beetle) and Oedemera lurida chilling on a flower, two different species of beetles in the same family just vibing

Cotton Harlequin Bug on an Illawarra Flame Tree seed pod. This one is a female, the males are blue. For some reason they seem to really like these pods and are often visible on them.
A #ThrowbackThursday to that time in 2008 when my salad came with a free friend. (I fed him greens for a while and then released him outside when the weather was nice.)
