A page for the wildlife within the woods. This will be mostly invertebrate based as that's my real passion...
I watched this little darter for ages and it kept returning to the same post to perch, I wondered if I placed my hand on the post, would it land on my finger?

Stunning shots! Love the grass snake with the hopper on it!
ReplyDeleteThink your Ichneumon wasp is Gasteruption jaculator. It's about the only one I can ID! ;-)
