They say it's been a good year for insects, and what you're seeing out and about this year would certainly support that. The amount of buzzy things still around our autumn sun drenched flower beds is noticeable, the huge quantity of Knopper gall's, the horrific numbers of wasps about, and I noticed the Aspens are covered in Red Aspen leaf galls too, from which Harmandia gall midges will emerge. I like the Aspen (Populus tremula), you always know when there's an Aspen about, you can hear them, they're the most talkative of trees.
