Except for Leucozona lucorum and Volucella bombylans hoverflies have been a bit sparse, although I did notice plenty of drone flies this evening. We've got the regular mix of damselflies and dragonflies for this time of year, common, blue-tail, white-legged, azure this evening, plus black-tailed skimmer, four spot chaser, and a hairy dragonfly. True bugs are very scarce. Lots of bees though.
What I'm not missing though is the Clegs they were bloody awful last year, but so far this year I've not been bitten by one.
