Fewer in number now, but still around are dragonflies. Today a Canada darner perched for a brief period in the Hedgerow, while the autumn meadowhawks could be found anywhere in the garden. Common green darners are still darting around high overhead.

And finally, the squirrels always know winter is coming long before we get around to thinking about it. They begin stashing food in August. One enterprising red squirrel was clearly thinking of more than food with this particular stash!

This is a good time of year to photograph bees and wasps as the cooler weather slows them down.

These larvae are as varied in colour as the adult Asian ladybeetle.
