Sorry – awful photos, but the only way I could get them was by holding the camera high above my head & semi-blindly tapping on the fold-out screen to take a shot 🙄
But still worth sharing, IMO, as they show a male Dexia vacua, a tachnid fly species that's very rare except, it seems, in my garden 🤷♂️🙂

This from earlier today is trickier 🧐
It's very likely a masked bee in genus Hylaeus.
From the shape & colour of the face markings & legs, I slightly favour H hyalinatus, the hairy-masked bee (🇩🇪 Mauer-Maskenbiene), but H leptocephalus, H communis etc. may also be options.

When the larger arthropods refuse to come out & play, attention turns to the tinier garden creatures 🕵️♂️
This small sap or pollen beetle is in genus Cychramus, most likely C luteus, the Brauner Glanzkäfer in 🇩🇪
True to its name, it was making the most of the goldenrod before I picked it up.

Down from 30ºC yesterday to 20ºC today, but still mostly sunny – hardly "cold" as such.
And yet, the garden was almost devoid of visible insect activity – most peculiar.
This female common drone fly (Eristalis tenax) was out there though, feeding on the ivy, so not a complete bust 🤷♂️

Es herbst. Die HellerHeide blüht.
Das Tagpfauenauge ist am Ende noch vollkommen unzerfleddert und sieht aus wie gerade geschlüpft.

During a visit to #MINWR /#Merritt #Island National #Wildlife Refuge, Fox (the #photographer) noticed some #bees crawling over a #thistle #flower and each other. While composing the shot, a #julia #butterlyfly landed on the flower. It stayed there for exactly one frame before taking off again, apparently deciding the place was too crowded.
