    Bumblebee ID? (Holme Fen, Cambs. UK)

    Hi All Although I was expecting something more exiting (considering the locale), but I think this "huge" bumblebee is - Bombus hortorum (Garden bumblebee). Or maybe not? Is the elongated face diagnostic? Size wise, the flower is a foxglove, 5ft high an dthe flowers were fully matured, so...

    Black bee with little white spots (Holme Fen, Cambs. UK)

    Hi All I managed only a couple of pictures of this interesting bee. I thought it might be Stelis ornatula but I don't think it is right. At one point it forced it's way right into the foxglove flower, kicking out a Black-Spotted Longhorn Beetle in the process. Anyways, could someone please...

    Anyone tried new xh2-s?

When I bought the X-H2S I trialed it against the R7, bearing in mind I had shot Canon since I was a kid. The stacked sensor and proper weather sealing meant that for me, it was a no brainer. I have...

    Long-horn Beetle ID? (Bogogno, 28010 Province of Novara, Italy)

    I found one case in transition. In Naples port, during a check on vegetable produce. But it does look like it but I can find nothing online for beetles in Italy. Need someone with a bit of local knowledge I think.

    Wasp ID? (Holme Fen, UK)

    Wasp ID? (Holme Fen, UK)

    Thanks for the suggestion Harrybongo. I see 5 yellow stripes on the abdomen and only 4 on the Mellinus arvensis. Also, the yellow bar at the base of the thorax looks longer on my photos. Mind you, I haven't found anything else.......
