I wish I had taken my macro lens- but I only had my 200-600mm

This little ,chap caught in a web and was hanging below

and the Clouded Yellow butterfly - not a great image more of a record shot , but I know where to find them now - so a macro trip is on the cards

Hi les, Not a Clouded yellow but maybe more a Brimstone, Still a lovely shot though.
 
Nicely done Les, the 2nd is particularly appealing with the light bringing out the wing detail and I'd agree with Graham - looks like a Male Brimstone to me
 
Looks to me as though you didn't need your macro,Les. Really good detail on both.

I might have 'saved' the bee. :) Is it a bee or a wasp ? A bee,I think.
 
I really missed it, it is a Hoverfly not a Bee or Wasp.

Lots of lovely detail there, Les, from your 200-600 lens. Love the first in particular (maybe even better to show a little more of the hanging thread?) :)
