The daisy bushes are the best source of subject matter at this time of year - in a month or three the ribbon bushes will flower and take over until May or June.

Maybe they should be Crabby Spiders X#X

Last Saturday Afternoon, as I walked into the garden there were two Blackcollared Barbets on the ground playing with something. They scarpered when I moved to see what they had and it turned out to be a Garden Fruit Chafer Beetle.

I gingerly approached this Paper Wasp: they have a reputation for packing a punch when they sting! Luckily I haven't had that misfortune - yet!

A Net-Winged Beetle.

A Pugnacious Ant.

And last, but not least, a special something for Nan :twisted: ;-)
