I think it's a Keeled Skimmer, a first for us if I'm right. Sue

I know nothing about Toads but surely his nose shouldn't look like that. I think something
has bitten the end off and exposed the nasal cavity. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Sue
superb photo
ReplyDeleteMany great images here, a fantastic vibrant collection full of colour and detail
ReplyDeleteWow again a big set of splendid pictures from the butterflies to the birds. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThese butterfiles are such beauties and I love getting to see what you have displayed~
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice array of photos! So pretty, I had to show them off to Little Sister! Well done! ~karen
ReplyDeleteSo many great captures! The butterflies are so beautiful, I wonder if you know their names.
ReplyDeleteA lovely collection of pictures, Hope to see you both soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely set of pictures, my favourite is the Burnet, great if it is a Keeled skimmer, I have never seen one. Poor Toad!
ReplyDeleteSuper images again! I'm no expert, but it looks like a Keeled Skimmer to me also - well done!
ReplyDeleteAnother superb collection guys...well done.
ReplyDeleteYes, Keeled Skimmer..over mature female.
I've never seen a Silver-washed Frit with any pale outer fringe markings so I suspect you may have captured something else?
Great variety of butterflies and moths. We don't have a great many different varieties here in Interior Alaska, so it's a treat to get to see so many different ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, I was really pleased to get a Keeled Skimmer, and some of the Butterflies & Moths are mine as well. As Early Birder rightly pointed out I have wrongly named the Fritillary (should have double checked it), rushing to get things edited and on the blog. I think it is probably a Pearl-Bordered Fritillary, and have corrected it. SUE
ReplyDeleteGreat set of images and the Dragonfly is a Keeled Skimmer it's a female or immature male. I have just bought the Collins complete British insect Book by Michael Chinery ideal for identifying insects £16.99 Well worth the money.
ReplyDeleteThanks Picurit,we also have Insects and Spiders by George C.McGavin.
ReplyDeleteBoth are excellent books.
John.
Definitely a female Keeled Skimmer Sue. Lovely lot of butterfly images.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your magnificent series of photos! Each and every one of them are fantastic. My favorite has to be the Burnet. Great capture! It is always a joy to view your lovely photos/blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Both Just catching up, super set of images John love that Scorpian Fly a real cracker. I see you had some good Moths.
ReplyDeleteIf I dont see you before , see you on the 10th October at Simons night.
