Bee like creature on Lavender/Teucrium
Hi, I work on an estate with a Lavender /Teucrium and Box feature and
have noticed a Bee like insect especially on the Teucrium plants . I can only describe it as a small Humming Bird a bit bigger than a Bee , you can hardly see the wings as it flaps so quickly. Any clues much appreciated . Mike ( Peterborough ) |
