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
Len on 20/6/2101: Such vibrant colour.I wonder if fashion designers would get any ideas from the clashes/contrasts of all the different colours and shades? LEN
