Some insects of the Loder valley yesterday: Mayflies, teneral damselflies, Scorpion fly, moths and butterflies, bees and hoverflies.

The place was buzzing.

 Newly-emerged, teneral damselfly -- difficult to tell which one.

 Azure damselfly

 Above might be an Azure Damselfly, Coenagrion puella, newly emerged and yet to develop green eyes and darker thorax.

 Micro-moth on my trousers, Crambus lathoniellus.     
My thanks to Bob Foreman of Sussex Wildlife Trust for advising on the moth and Alder fly species.

 Southern Marsh orchids.
