Stunning beetle... stunning wasp

So while I spent Sunday enjoying the best looking dragonflies that take to the wing, Doug Fairweather was out and about just south of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Taking time off Odonata and Lepidoptera he was busy photographing something which needs to appear on the blog... Lesser Stag Beetle.

Doug has also been trying for ages to get a picture of Chrysis ignita - Ruby-tailed Wasp.

Next time... it won't be sat in the lid of pot!
