The Anti-Violence Bee Monument visited Malvern this morning. It is 11 feet tall and made from thousands of knives, guns and other weapons. @GreatMalvernUK @MalvernGazette @bbchw @WorcesterHour

The Thick Legged Hoverfly. A common but often overlooked little bee mimic. It is a critical pollinator of many flowers and it’s abundance in an area is a good bio indicator of the health of that environment. @WoodlandTrust @WorcsWT @Natures_Voice @BBCCountryfile #hoverflies

The Nursery Web Spider. So called because they don’t use webs to catch prey, instead preferring to hunt on foot. But females do spin a web tent around their egg sac and then stand guard until her babies are old enough to leave. @WorcsWT @Natures_Voice @WoodlandTrust #spiders

A few photos from the Queens Baton Relay on top of the Worcestershire Beacon yesterday.@malvernhillshr @MalvernGazette @BBCMidlands @ITVCentral @TomBannerWN

Yep, here’s one in Malvern

The Black and Yellow Longhorn Beetle. As a larvae lives inside dead wood for 2-3 yrs. it just gets 4 wks as an adult. It mates, lays eggs and then frolicks amongst the flowers, feeding on nectar and occasionally posing for passing photographers. @Natures_Voice @WorcsWT

The first Worcestershire Visually Impaired Tennis Tournament is taking place at Manor Park Sports Club in Malvern, on Sunday July 3rd. It will begin around 10am. Come along and watch the action. @bbchw @ITVCentral @malvernhillshr @MalvernGazette @UKFionam #vitennis #tennis

The Flower Crab Spider. This predator changes its colour to match the flower it is on. This camouflage allows it to hide in plain sight and ambush flying insects visiting the flower. @Natures_Voice @WoodlandTrust @WorcsWT #30DaysWild

Sicus ferrugineus is one of the Thick Headed Flies. They mimic wasps to trick predators into leaving them alone. And this ones choice of colour makes it appear even scarier to me!@Natures_Voice @WoodlandTrust @WorcsWT #30DaysWild

The Narcissus Bulb Fly mimics a Bumble Bee to fool potential predators into leaving it alone. @Natures_Voice @WorcsWT @WoodlandTrust @CountryfileMag #30DaysWild
