Insect Bonanza

Never saw a bunch of butterflies clustered together like this before, much less so preoccupied that photos were possible.





I saw this dragonfly buzzing around some plants. It was hard to catch but as it kept circling back to land every time I approached I finally got something relatively close up.





A praying mantis has been hanging out on one of our plants for most of the summer. My partner dubbed her Harriet after Harry in Death in Paradise.

Beautiful.

It's been such a poor year for butterflies here.

We haven't seen many around where we live but there are definitely more in woods and fields.
