A few shots from earlier in the year I never got round to.

Here in the Tropics the heat and humidity is beginning to build, looking forward to bug season.

Ichneumon wasp. These guys never stay still, this one was sticking it's abdomen up in the air a lot, had me a little worried (can they sting ?).

Wonderful series Andy.
Re Ichneumon wasps - AFAIK they cannot sting- raising their abdomens like that is part of their cleaning routine.

Andy,

A nice set.

Your last one is a lycanid butterfly, probably one of these:

Your third bug is a pentatomid (Shield-bug). The others may also be in that family, or a related family.
