Chafer Beetle Grazing on Dandelion Pollen

While hiking around the farm I found this Chafer Beetle feeding on Dandelion pollen. I like to go looking for subjects early in the day because they are sometimes more hungry than afraid.

Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to almost 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -1 FEC). This is a single, cropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order.
