Big butterfly count is on πŸ¦‹ and a giant horntail wasp.

Hi everyone,

As we have a garden and a nature topic, some of you may be interested in this as its fun and it's important as they are pollinators eat bushy weeds and are beautiful insects.

But this is to gauge the state of our environment as butterflies are also very sensitive to environmental changes and we have all seen extreme weather patterns.

Here's a link to participate learn more about butterflies and our environment.

Now the photograph is of a giant horntail or wood wasp their body is around 40ml long so they are awesome, it popped in to inspect construction in my garden as it smelt freshly sawn wood, they're nosey my neighbours...😊

Good thing you did your research on the stinging before getting close. In the US in my area I seen a huge decline in the bee popullation from the past years. I do not think I'll have many anuals return next year. My yard is pestiside free as we stay organic. We promote trying to have plants for them to feed from. It has been a dramatic changing year!
