Owl Midge

This is an Owl Midge - Pericoma fuliginosa in the garden. Also known as Moth Flies, these midges have very hairy wings with many long veins. They breed in decaying matter of all kinds and come to light at night. They tend to be abundant at sewage works.

Aruncus dioicus

This is yet another Carpet Beetle but the photo was really taken because I had found the name of the plant it is on – see UGO. It is Aruncus dioicus (Sylvester).

Calla Lily

This is Zantedeschia aethiopica – the Calla Lily. The amazing thing is that I lost it for at least two years. It just disappeared and yet this year it has quite happily been resurrected, putting forth its lovely spotted leaves and trumpet-shaped flowers. It is in a plant pot so I can only conclude that the pot was in a location it didn’t like and so the tuber remained dormant.
