  4. Your female Ruddy Darter is in fact a female Common Darter .
    Main ID , apart from shape , Ruddy Darter has completely black legs , whereas the Common has the outside of the legs striped with yellow .

  5. Grand shots of the Hornet. You should have picked it up and turned it round. They only sting a bit.

  6. Yea Keith, that's what food does for you.

    Anonymous, I am naughty aren't I?

    I don't think I'll touch it, even though it might go ahead with the string. My son got one, and it really stung him.
