| Wasp Beetle, Clytus arietis |
Rewell Wood, as usual, continues to provide interesting insects. The first one I spotted yesterday was the striking Wasp Beetle which followed the previous day's Black-headed Cardinal Beetle. several species of Ichneumon Wasps and Cuckoo Bees were feeding on the Wood Spurge, some still requiring identification. I saw a rare white Bugle flower.
