Favourite Insect ?

[tcdandelion]

Insects on the whole have a very negative press .
But what's your favourite ? Mine has to be the Hover Fly , what a superb flier and so beneficial to the garden . I can sit under my Birch tree and watch their spectacular aerial manoeuvres for ages . ( I obviously don't get out much , sad ).

Interesting thread tcdandelion

I have to say that I love the Damsel and dragonflies when it is the main season for them to make a grand appearance. They are so majestic and are beautiful to look at.

The more daily insect I love is the Bumble Bee because they are such hard workers to get us the honey that we love so much.

Hi

My favourite and most used piece of cutlery in the draw is the honey spoon! I have honey with tea & coffee, local honey is good for hay fever and also many other benefits can be had from honey- healthy skin and I like to think it keeps me youthful to a degree he he he, so many thanks to my favourite insect the dancing honey bee!

Don't tell those beauty Butterflies though

Apart from Dragonflies and Butterflies I love the sound of Grasshoppers in Summer.

Any kind of bumble bee, but if I have to be specific, Bombus monticola, a good ol' upland species.
