| | Favourite Insect ? 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 ). |

| | Re: Favourite Insect ? 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.

| | | Re: Favourite Insect ? 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

| | | Re: Favourite Insect ? Any kind of bumble bee, but if I have to be specific, Bombus monticola, a good ol' upland species.
