A quick trip out to Poldar Moss today but it was too hot, particularly when sitting in the full sun trying to photograph dragonflies. Nice to see the Green Tiger Beetles out in force.
A small beetle that I found under a log on 3/9/21. When it's this early in the year and we are just starting to have random intermittent warm days, my go to spots for finding insects are under rotten logs and under rocks. You tend to mostly find isopods, centipedes, and millipedes but it's still great to be out interacting with nature again after the dreary indoor winter months.
Another image of a Tansy Beetle, this time on a sunnier sunrise which produced some lovely bokeh in the background. This little Beetle posed perfectly!
I found this rather impressive beetle on a peony blossom recently. Because there's a few beetles that look quite similar, I'm not 100% sure of its ID, but I think this is a Trigonarthris minnesotana. If you know otherwise, please let me know.
Thank you for your views and comments, much appreciated! Have a great weekend!
Kind of like a tightrope walker, this tiny gray bug was moving along the top of an unfolding hibiscus petal. It turned out to be a little beetle, apparently a "variegated carpet beetle." I don't know about the garden, but apparently we really don't want them to get into the house...
