• The photographs of Ferdinandea cuprea and the impressively large Hornet mimic Milesia crabroniformis were taken in the Dordogne area of France. This latter species has not been recorded in Britain. Tropidia scita was photographed in Norfolk and the remaining pictures of the rare Callicera aurata (shown here from several different angles to aid identification) were taken in Surrey.
