As the days become shorter and colder, the leaves start to change and autumn gets underway, lets take a look back at life in the garden from the last few months.

A small garden spider sitting in the middle of its web, in the garden.

A pollen covered bumblebee on a scabious flower. Undecided on species, I initially thought this was a garden bumblebee but the face looks too round, so it might be a heath bumblebee.

A running crab-spider hanging about on a Japanese anemone flower.

The underwing patterns of a Peacock butterfly feeding on buddleja flowers in the garden.

Red-tailed bumblebee, bombus lapidarius, on a Tansy flower in the garden.

A red-tailed bumblebee male on a sedum flower in the garden.

Tenthredo scrophulariae, the large and very wasp-like Figwort sawfly. Despite their appearance, like all sawflies, these have no sting and are harmless.

A figwort weevil on a buddleja leaf in the garden.

A bumblebee in amongst the tansy flowers in the garden. No idea what colour the tail of this bumblebee is under all that pollen, but from the faded yellow head I reckon this is a bombus lucorum (white-tailed bumblebee) male.

A common wasp, vespula vulgaris, having a drink from a droplet of water on a leaf.

A Thick-legged hoverfly, syritta pipiens, on a plant stem in the garden.

False sunflower flowers bathed in the low evening sunlight.

There are a number of photos from the garden in my 30 Days Wild 2016 post as well, I decided to go with new photos in this one instead of reposting any of those again.

As always, for all my photos take a look at my Flickr page.
