Passionate About Bugs

Gorgeous day. Lovely to feel the sun on one's back without the oppressive heat of the summer. I was hoping for butterflies but didn't see a single one. :( 

After lunch Ollie dog and I found a hawker dragonfly which was concentrating on eating what it had caught so I was able to get quite close. (Extras)

Later on I spotted a Mirid bug on a passion flower. I think it could be Lygus pratensis. Pratensis means meadow so that would fit as we found it on the edge of our field/meadow which I've let MrQ cut recently.
