A photographer couldn’t believe his luck after finding a very rare species in a Glasgow park.
A photographer hunted far and wide for an elusive insect only to spot it in a Glasgow park during his lunch break.
The 43-year-old was starting to give up hope when suddenly the multicoloured insect appeared in front of him in Ruchill Park last month while he was on his lunch break.The ruby wasp’s scientific name is Chrysis ignita and has been suggested as one of the UK's most beautiful insects, according to The Wildlife Trusts.
Despite his"panic" he frantically snapped some pictures before his camera died and was thrilled to finally have a picture of the stunning bug at last.David told the Glasgow Times: “It is truly a fantastic find, especially at the end of the season, they are so impressive because of their colours.“I felt a sudden panic as they are very rare, small, and quick, so it felt like now or never.
David became interested in macro photography during the pandemic as he went on daily walks in Glasgow.
