A fly parasitic on some species of moth caterpillar. Apparently has some potential for pest control in forestry Here supping on marjoram in Sussex

Hope @Stubby doesn't wake up and see this; eel be bound to comment
-
Those are indeed in remarkable condition. How the heck have you prevented mites eating them? They are the usual suspects for degradation in such collections

Indeed; the Toto Wolff philosophy - FIFO. Fit In or...

Recent AJS? I haven't seen a single Painted Lady
-
There's a lot of honeysuckle here on our acre and a half so I can dream. It was probably coincidence but did you notice the genus of the pant my garden White Ad was perched on? Lonicera! But just nitida. Actually I've just found that now is egglaying time; the caterpillars overwinter.

Found a load of old pics, all taken in the low Austrian Alps
-
I've seen a handful in this country, more on the Alpine continent. There are pockets of population; Ashtead Common near Epsom has a population, along with Purple Emperors, as the habitat is veteran oak forest with much honeysuckle, the W/Admiral caterpillar's chosen food plant.

@oakandmaple do you know what the bottom centre specimen is? I recognise it but can't name it The Small Copper is a beautiful little thing.

My final contributions. First three - butterfly, moth, butterfly - from around and above Chamonix recently. The last one - White Admiral - from the garden three weeks ago.

Well I got close to this one! A little too close if the focus is anything to go by
-
I can't get close-ups like you AJS; this is about the best I can do. Silver-Washed Fritillary in the garden last week. I've been surprised by the number of butterflies this year as I found almost none overwintering in the logs. So perhaps the majority are immigrants? Except for the massive recent hatch of Meadow Browns and Ringlets that is.

Skoda say they're taking this on board and at some stage there will be a relevant software update
-
My wife has a Skoda EV. The most complained about feature apparently is the inability to permanently disable Lane Assist; you have to do it every time you get in the car and that's four screen actions! But lane assist is bloody lethal! An automated function that grabs the steering from you when you cross a white line?! No thanks. It does give you the 'jolt' it's intended to though; my heart skips a beat every time

As ever the centralist answer to a training need, here driver education, is legislation. it's the lazy way out.
-
I'd say domestic cat in that clip, no question, but I also totally believe in the presence of larger-than-domestic cats being out there; there are too many reported sightings for me to doubt it yet none apparently of 'big dogs', i.e. wolves
-
The evening session yesterday was incredible. The last session of the last day of the last match to decide whether Aus win the series or whether the series is drawn. Aus need 131 to win and have 7 wickets standing. Eng win with SB taking the last two wickets. Legend

Never seen this tree species before....what IS it?

No idea; mine's only about 5' tall! -

Eng made all sorts of mistakes at Edgbaston and Lords, where Bairstow cost us probably 100 runs with dropped catches. There can be no complaints about the weather at Old Trafford robbing us as we gave away both the first games.

There is a cut leaved alder; I have one in the garden. I think that's a good shout -
Stop Stubby. Stop right there. No more fish innuendos for Cod's sake.
