Short Fringed Mining Bee (Andrena dorsatta) perhaps ?





White-tailed Bumble Bee ♂︎ (Bombus lucorum)











Eristalis pertinax ♂︎











Heather Mining Bee (Andrena fuscipes)



Platycheirus fulviventris ♀︎ perhaps?





Melanostoma scalare ♀︎





Common Green Shield Bug - 3rd Instar Nymph (Palomena prasina)



Ling (Calluna vulgaris)



Rush Sp







Ornate Tailed Digger Wasp (Cerceris rybyensis)





Sloe Bug (Dolycorus baccarum)



Short-winged Conehead ♂︎ (Conocephalus dorsalis)

Not quite

The conehead is a female Long-winged Conehead nymph - nymph
because the stripe is black not brown (hence why the wings aren't fully developed)

The images below I thought were

Tormentil Mining Bee (Andrena tarsata)

Things are never quite that simple.

Apparently there are a number of A dorsata in amongst these pictures.

Nick Owens comment

Some of the tormentil bees are Andrena dorsata – but very worn. They have more distinctive white side-bands and rufous hairs on the thorax – also a bit bigger I think.
The tibia is dark not orange as in A. tarsata though you can’t see this under the pollen.

So I'm going to put a D to ones I think are A dorsata looking for the distinctive white side bands and rufous hairs on the thorax.

Thus If I managed to find one Tormentil Mining Bee I was lucky.

Short-winged Conehead (Conocephalus dorsalis) although as Tony has said you need to watch out for long-winged variety (macropterous form) of short-winged conehead.



Tipula Sp One of a number of craneflies that hold their wings in line with the body at rest. The marbled wings suggest one of two smaller craneflies. T confuse or T rufina

but you need a thorax side view to be certain.
