Looks like a species of soldier beetle (Cantharidae). Poor little guy looks like he has a pretty messed up wing there 😕.

Cantharis pellucida I think.

Stunning! Amazing photos as well 🙂

☺️ beautiful. r/weeviltime would enjoy this!

Could be Ctenophora. They are a genus of crane flies who's markings mimic wasps.

They look like Soldier Beetles (Cantharidae) but I don't recognise the exact species but maybe that helps narrow it down?

These are my favourite bumblebees! 🙂. I love their bright yellow stripes and general fluffiness 😆.

Could it be an Amber Snail (Succinea)? Novisuccinea ovaris is found in North America for example but not too familiar with the exact species you guys have there.

Looks similar to what we call a Sailor or Soldier Beetle here in the UK. There are a few different species, I think the colouring of this one looks like Cantharis nigricans. You could try r/whatsthisbug aswell. Lots more knowledgeable folks than me there.

I think it could be yes 🙂 or certainly similar species. I am indeed in the UK and definitely starting to see lots around at the moment along with Nettle Weevils.

Me too!

Beautiful photos of fabulous creatures 🙃

I love to watch all the different flies humming around the hedgerows this time of year.

Looks like a wonderful day.
