The male Red-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius), seen here on Creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), can be distinguished by the yellow banding on his face and thorax. Females are larger, and black with a prominent red tail. These are sociable insects nesting in burrows and under rocks. They will fly from spring through to autumn, before going into hibernation (with the exception of the old queen and the males which will die in the autumn). Can be seen anywhere with flowers. This photo was taken at the Back Walk under Stirling Castle Rock.
