It hasn't been a good year for insect life so far, especially as I have seen no stag beetles. That's a great shame. I can only hope that, as they take seven years to mature from egg into beetle, there may be an increase in some future year.
A couple of days ago I was lucky enough to spot this comma butterfly taking the sun in the garden. Today, a common hawker dragonfly strafed my head then settled on the waterlilies to lay her eggs. At least one a year hatches out of the pond and as they usually return to where they were born in order to lay, I should think this one is 'home grown'.
