My recent spree of #macrophotography continues - and I appear to have become a friend of the #wasps. One morning - a small, slender, black and orange wasp (possibly an Ichneumon of some kind?) was sat in the window of the front door - after taking photos, I duly released it into the outdoors. And later that day - a tiny, glittering Cuckoo wasp purposefully scampering over old stonework!

#Derbyshire, May 2025.

Long, slender wasp with a glossy black head and body, very long antennae and orange-thighed legs sat on the white-painted frame of a window, with bright, out-of-focus textured glass in the background.
Small wasp with a glittering blue-green head and body and orange-red abdomen on old stonework. (Slightly motion-blurred, I know. They're absolute gits to take photos of - tiny, and constantly, rapidly moving!)

Her father, #WilliamNightingale, had inherited at age 21 a family fortune amassed from lead smelting and cotton spinning, and lived as a country squire in a manor house called Lea Hurst in #Derbyshire, set on 1,300 acres about 140 miles north of London. Tutored by their father in mathematics and the classics, and surrounded by a circle of enlightened aristocrats who campaigned for outlawing the slave trade and other reforms, Florence and her older sister, Parthenope, grew up amid intellectual ferment.
