Insects Active

A (largely photographic) look at the newly emerging insect life of spring 2025.

As we move deeper into spring in the northern hemisphere the insects are starting to appear in numbers (other than the butterflies, where my sightings count remains stuck at two so far for 2025). The photo gallery at the end of this post thus features a preponderance of insects.

HOW TO FIND INSECTS

A lot of this can be explained by reproducing an old line which works well in this context: “seek and ye shall find”.

I do lots of walking, and where I go my camera goes. I have also learned through experience to recognize likely places to spot insect life.

PHOTOGRAPHS

My usual sign off…

The woods near Kettlewell Lane, where this picture among others in this gallery was taken can be relied on for insect lift.
St Peter’s Garden, attached to the Church of St Peter and St Paul in Fakenham is another good location – this pic and the next five were taken there after work yesterday.
The next five pictures including this one demonstrate that although it follows a very major road all the way the route from the hospital (where I alighted from the bus home from work) to Gaywood is not devoid of insect life.
The gorse bushes where this ladybird was basking are near the King’s Lynn branch of Morrison’s.
The last insects in this post come from the same place as the first – the woods near Kettlewell Lane.
