I also found a few insects earlier in the week, which have now been added to the ever growing reference collection.

The Insects are returning!
Seems like Winter lasts for ever, but over the last few weeks some insects have started to make a re-appearance, mainly large Queen Bumble bees waking up from hibernation. I Have only collected a few things so far in 2011, here's a small solitary bee I found today basking in the sun in the back garden...
It is about 8mm long, probably quite a common species, but one which I haven't encountered before.

ReplyDeletecarim, this is on exhibition at the saatchi gaIiery, it reminded me of your work
thanks!
ReplyDeleteah yes, Tessa Farmer does some amazing work, I love the evil fairies pulling the wings off a hornet! haha
I dont really see my collection as artwork, as it is more for scientific value, but I have always thought that even the specimen insects make great visual pieces on their own.
Very nice male Lucanus...!
