ragwort plant, Jacobaea vulgaris covered with butterflies and insects so popular with insects. 2 images

There is an ever changing procession of all kinds of insects during the day but in this image there are ringlet butterflies, skipper butterflies, small black beetles, dance flies, and fly 'species'. The ragwort is a huge magnet for insects during the summer especially on a hot late summer's day when the pollen is at its height. Just stand near a ragwort plant in high summer and watch !
