Thick-legged Flower Beetle

Das ist immer schön,wenn man in seinen Garten auf Beobachtung gehen kann lieber Keith und das machst du jeden Tag,dir geht es gleich wie mir,man muss fast immer jedes Blatt umdrehen,grinssss,sehr schön hast du diese beiden,kleinen Käfer entdeckt und eine tolle Nahaufnahme gemacht,die Schärfe ist perfekt auf der ganzen Blüte :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thanks for your well thought out comments Güni and I'm glad you like this shot. I seem to have a lot of these beautiful beetles in the garden this year, so I've a couple more shots yet to post.

My wife and I don't get out as often as we used to but being able to go into the garden keeps us sane..!!

Amazing detail, especially when viewed large Keith
I love the colours of the flower and the beetles, plus I have learnt how to tell male from female, another win for IP!

Every day is a school day on IP..............with something new to see and learn every visit. I'm glad you like this shot Roger.........and that you learned something new. I'm grateful for your visit and kind comments.

Have a great week.

Die Fliege fällt ja tatsächlich kaum auf. Die Show gehört den Käfern! :-)
