On a recent walk around the gardens of Newstead Abbey, Nottinghamshire I spotted a menagerie of species feeding on some golden rod. This Comma Butterfly (Polygonia c-album) was amongst them.
We saw this beewolf wasp (Philanthus triangulum) feasting on golden rod nectar. At least I think it is. There is something about the colour of its back legs that makes me think it may be a similar species to the beewolf rather than being a beewolf itself.
