They are nocturnal and very docile. Just let them climb on a paper plate and shake out the window slightly. <br /><br />Great page, like identifying insectsmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434792975093723126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512356822916609819.post-87945608344385751682013-06-08T17:43:25.968+01:002013-06-08T17:43:25.968+01:00Thanks for your visit and comments Stevie. I will ...Thanks for your visit and comments Stevie. I will check out the suggestion for the wasp, sounds good. <br />Yes, the Buff Tip was fortunate and the turned out to be even more attractive than I had imagined having not seen them up close before.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910443806244769469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512356822916609819.post-1949970088438359122013-06-08T10:13:01.654+01:002013-06-08T10:13:01.654+01:00Wow, love them all, great images.

Amazing luck with the Buff Tip emerging at that very moment, wonderful series.<br />Was going to suggest Ophion for the wasp, since I commonly get them in the moth trap too-I see Maria has beaten me to it.<br />Cheers<br />StevieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512356822916609819.post-59084179831712604252013-06-07T15:26:09.045+01:002013-06-07T15:26:09.045+01:00Well as ever, everything was most certainly of int...Well as ever, everything was most certainly of interest, and illustrated with cracking images too!<br /><br />Especially love the Wasp beetle and the Cockchafer! <br /><br />But how could anyone not say WOW to that Eyed HM?? What a fantastic looking creature! Beautiful photos!<br /><br />So fortuitous that you went to the Buff tips' enclosure when you did. They're also rather beautiful and it's great to see them 'pumping up' into their flying form.<br /><br />Love the wasp! I might be tempted to go so far as suggesting Ophion species... but as you say, they're not easy!<br /><br />Thank you for another superb blog entry!<br /><br />MariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
