While photographing the baby hedgehog (animal thread) the distinctive 'drone' of a ****chafer passed my ear.

It landed next to me but took off in a few seconds. Only a quick grab shot with the iPhone and it was a bit out of focus (or I moved) so heavily sharpened  ...but an amazing creature.

Is that a burrowing wasp, Iain?

Thanks for that. I did wonder if it was some sort of beetle as it's got the 'wing casings' in front of the wings.

That's lovely Geoff. It looks in good nick too. Whenever I get a butterfly it's always got tatty wings or scales falling off.

What butterfly is it?

According to "UK Butterflies" it is a Marbled White. There were other species but they rarely settled for long enough to photograph them.
