Bower's Lake, Leeds was bejewelled by damselfies, a few caddisfly larvae to be found on the vegetation along with Great Pond Snails (Lymnaea stagnalis), but the most abundant #invertebrate species were, I think, the invasive alien Jenkin's Spire-Snail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum). #molluscmonday 5/6

Spined Soldier Bug With Breakfast. I had no idea there was such a thing as a predatory stink bug. I thought all stink bugs were all so-called "pests," eating your plants willy-nilly. Turns out, this little carnivorous gaffer would like to dine on your pesty larvae, if you could kindly offer him a little shelter. #bug #stinkbugs #beneficialinsects #insect #pollinator #nature #naturephotography #natureshots #wildlife #wildlifephotography #invertebrate #furrowbee #macro #macrophotography #larva #macrophotographie #smallworld #garden
Furrow Bee
I think she overshot in the imbibing and pollen loading, because she seemed to be in a rather snoozy state, allowing me to take 18 stackable macro shots freehand. #bee #sweatbee #insect #pollinator #nature #naturephotography #natureshots #wildlife #wildlifephotography #insect #invertebrate #furrowbee #macro #macrophotography #macrophotographie #smallworld #wildflowers
Orchesella villosa is perhaps my favourite springtail to find. I think it's the largest found in North America, and it's just so fuzzy.
