A little Bee (not sure what sort) feeding on, and pollinating, an Early Purple Orchid. The Beeβs head is covered in pollinia - never seen that before! #WildWebsWednesday
A few #butterflies from yesterday's stroll from Beverley to Cherry Burton on the rail trail. Spotted others, including a nice-looking brimstone, but they refused to play ball.
