River Earn Walk, Crieff, Perthshire.

The silhouette of a wasp.

Thankyou very much to the Bumble Bee Conservation lady http://www.bumblebeeconservation.org.uk/index.htm
who sent me the info and leaflet about Bumble bee id.  I think it will take me a long time to get the hang of it.  I don't see one with two white stripes in the choices.

This one was in the garden 12/8/10

This photo was taken September 2009.  There were a load of white bees and I could never work out if it was just because of the pollen from the flowers.  Most were even whiter than this one but extremely difficult to get a photo of because obviously they zoom about from flower to flower.










But going by the bees today August 2010 on the same flowers they have just started to get the white on them.

Scary beasties close up, wasps.

I don't think I've seen one with this kind of lower shape and stripes before.
