Amazing!! The bee have taken a bath in the pollen :)

Abhinav, The pollen adheres to the tiny hairs that cover most of the beetle.I must say that he looks as though he's enjoying himself.:)

That's quite a pollination going on there-looks like an earth-moving explosion. Lucky bug....ger.x

Breathtaking said...

Ian, When I first discovered this beetle I set out each day to see if I could find one.I think they are charming,and fun to watch,as they seem to make a habit of creating pollen storms.x

Hi Mike! You made me smile!! Well to tell you the truth I rarely leave my garden,and the photos I take are either taken in the garden, or on the property.
I photograph whatever wildlife is available to me.
