What an impressive insect!
Urocerus gigas, Giant Woodwasp, a species I've long wanted to see and it didn't disappoint.
Four females ovipositing on a logpile today, Berwickshire.

Dancing over duckweed at dusk! #WorldWetlandDay
Small China-mark (Cataclysta lemnata) is a moth with aquatic larvae. I saw my first last year, at Bawsinch SWT Edinburgh.
We had close-up views in light traps in the morning, but even better was watching them doing their thing at dusk 🤍
