Four-banded Flower Bee (Anthophora quadrimaculata)












Bare-saddled (Colletes)

The females have a bare first tergite and this can be seen in the images above.

The hind tarsus shape of the male matched the images in Stephen Falk's album





These two image show a much Hairier variety of colletes

VB commented this is probably a fresher male Bare-saddled Colletes , which accounts for the hairiness





Out you come. That's my hole!

No way. it's mine

The fundatrix - a viviparious parthenogenetic winged or wingless female aphid.

Phylloxids are a family closely related to Aphids. The fundatrix lays yellow eggs in circle around it.

Also in the image below.

Two species of Ash-leaf Aphis

are

Prociphilus bumeliae & Prociphilus fraxini

and they are identical at this stage.

Both of these species are host alternate. - From Ash (Fraxinus) to Fir (Abies)

Apparently the wax protects the aphids from the effects of their own honeydew. Also it is thought they tend to stop producing honeydew when , as in this case, they are attended by ants.

JE a took a sample and determined these were

Prociphilus bumeliae

















AshLeaf Aphid

Only the winged individuals (alates) are capable of being determine but still tricky if not impossible from photographs.

You need to be able to determine the relative lengths of the third antennal segment as compared to the second.

as there were one or two very dark out of focus aphids in the corner of two of the images.

Aphid Sp parasatised by a parasitic wasp.







on Rumex Sp

These could be either

Black Bean Aphid (Aphis fabae)
or
Dock Aphid (Aphis rumicis)

But the extent of the paleness on the antenna suggest Black Bean Aphid
