        • Lots of these bees in the garden,I see about eight of them travelling together,there’s probably more down the bottom of the garden,I’ve never done a bee count,that would be quite hard because they could just follow you

          • That is a bee mimic fly.
            This one looks even more beeish.

                  • I found a super-caterpillar on my allotment the other day.
                    It was walking across the shed doorstep and almost got trodden on.
                    It was walking along sticking its head in every crack and crevice it came across for a place to pupate and hibernate.
                    I waited until it got to a small hole and put the tape measure by it while it stuck its head in.
                    I did not interrupt it as the food plants do not include anything useful to me. It has been doing a good job of keeping that wretched creeping willow herb in check.
                    It is the caterpillar of an elephant-hawk moth.

                            Am I right in thinking it is a bush cricket?

                                Thanks. This was at Riddlesdown, South of Croydon last week. It's the only one I've ever seen.
                                Quite a lot of butterflies about this year. There always seems to be lots of cabbage whites!
