Hello from Sunny Suffolk

[RegNirrab]

Just joined WAB today, while searching for an ID on a black and yellow insect. I haven't found the answer yet because I've spent ages trawling through loads of discouragingly (or is it inspirationally) fantastic photographs, plus all the really friendly welcome messages.
Somewhere I read an item from someone who referred to an on-line diary because they didn't like the term "blog" - Me neither - nice to see I'm not alone with that, either
And I don't like Forums.
They are often full of egotistical geeks out to start a row.
Why did I join this one, then???
Because members seem genuinely friendly, and helpful, and not geeks (excepting, of course those far-too-good photographers ).
I'm Essex-born and bred (if that's the word) from Hornchurch, male, 60-something (if you're of a similar age, you'll understand why it's just vaguely 60+ - can't quite do the sums on years any more ) My wife and I moved to Woodbridge, Suffolk in 1994. And my name's not Reg Nirrab - that's an anagram.
I suppose I'd better get off this introduction and over to the "insect house" to find the identity of my black and yellow blood-sucker-looking thingy.
P.S. I'll have to own up to my mate that I've joined a Forum - he knows I don't like them
