Rudys #BugOfTheDay is a hornet mimic hoverfly volucella zonaria. These harmless beauties are probably our most stunning hoverfly & at up to 25mmm long they are one of our largest too @EcoRecording#HoverWatch Made me jump when I first saw it cos they look & fly just like a hornet
Happy Sunday 🌻

Different #StaffieSaturday pose this week, rare family photo to celebrate my gorgeous son's 16th birthday. Bailey is in a huff because she can't have the balloons! #familyof5
@JackieM_at_home Someone screwed a metal bracket on an oak tree at the pool to hang a life ring from. Sap comes out of the screw holes & it always has wasps & hornets on it
@stephenhillbill Thanks Stephen🙂👍. I think it IS a median wasp😁 not seen one before. Quite large. I think they are feeding on fermenting sap along with some butterflies! Possibly caused by wetwood/slimeflux?? There definitely appears to be damp mushy wood 😬
@stephenhillbill as my 'go to' bug man 😁 I hope you can help. These wasps are chewing the base of a 3 stem silver birch turning the wood to mush, 1 stem is now leaning. Smells strongly of vinegary rotting apples too. Any idea what wasps these are and what's affecting the tree?

This is Ghost from my local shelter. He’s looking for a place to hang his hat. Ghost is very easy to walk in spite of his size. He hates the heat but loves the treats! Located in NY 516.676.5913 #StaffieSaturday#AdoptDontShop
