Rare conjoined Small White butterflies

A rare pair of conjoined Small White butterflies. In the lower image one can clearly see the eyes. They rested on the leaf of a French climbing bean plant for at least ten minutes before flying off. The outer butterfly was effectively carrying the inner one.

A Large White butterfly. In the lower image we can see the eggs the butterfly has just laid, but in the upper image the eggs have not been laid yet. There is perhaps as much as much as a single minute between the taking of each photograph.  If you look closely at the face, you will see she is smiling!

This is Common Darter dragonfly looks as though it has six wings due to the detailed shadows. Moreover, its teeth look in excellent condition.

A Flesh Fly

This is a common Flesh Fly that has large pads for its feet, therefore, making it ideal for walking across food and other matter.

This is a Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus) and it feeds on insects.

This Flesh fly (Sarcophaga carnaria) was resting on our purple sprouting at lunch time. Note the huge eye and the legs.
