Going into the cafe. I have always known these as Strangalia maculata, but they have recently changed their name! They are evidently now Rutpela maculata, I took four photos of this handsome person: see the others Here

A lovely set of pictures. Did it finish eating or did it not like the menu? You really should send some of these off to a publication like National Geographic. They really are that good.

The intrepid beetle enters the enticing bowels of the pretty bloom. Clear and sharp beyond the basic meaning of the words, Andrea.

None of my six pots contain bindweed ... a fact I enjoy every day! LOL! The critter is spectacular, though, and I liked all four shots. My favorite was the head-on shot when he's coming out of the flower. Outstanding series!
