We spotted this spotted beetle wandering a passionflower. In Tulsa we walked The Gathering Place and the Botanic Garden - both had LOTS of these pretty little pests...

These guys put on quite a show for me when I was hiking last evening. I believe it must be their mating season. More to come.

I found this little guy perched on some grass along a slow moving stream. I was lucky enough to see him in action as he swooped out to catch his prey and return briefly before flying off.

Lift up your candle dress

Unweave your nylon spine

In velvet and in onions

You will soon be mine

I am your humble servant

Madam as you see

Tonight I am determined

You will lie along with me

You are an insect mother

With a black shiny head

That parts your cloak to open

Human you upon the bed

You are an insect mother

I your jammy son

And now we've found each other

There is nowhere else to run

Lift up your candle dress

Unweave your nylon spine

In velvet and in onions

You will soon be mine

Please, view large

  

....or a shave.....like Teresa said ....lol
