Asian lady beetle ( Harmonia axyridis)

coccinellae wasp spots a ladybird, swoops down and injects her egg into the ladybird's soft underside. Once hatched, the wasp larva grows plump on the ladybird's fat stores. After about 20 days it burrows out of the ladybird and weaves a cocoon between the ladybird's legs.



Click Beetle (athous haemorrhoidalis)



Cocksfoot (Glyphipterix simpliciella)

Grey Mining Bee - Andrena cineraria
Ashy mining bee 

Rough Meadow-grass  (Poa trivialis)

The panicle is clearly branched, with three or more branches at the lowest whorl. Spikelets contain two or more florets without awns. Lemmas easily seen extending beyond glume tips. The ligule is longer than wide and the lowest sheath is rough when gently rubbed in one direction against the lips.
