A beautiful tree I found in Beetle Rock at Sequoia National Park.

Click beetle, I think it is Agrypnus murinus, on fuchsia leaf. This species of click beetles doesn’t have a common name and, apparently most frequent in coastal areas than inland. It was spotted on fuchsia earlier, but when I came back with the camera it disappeared into dense foliage. When I tried to place it flipped up into the air with a click, hence other names for this group of beetles include skipjacks, spring beetles. It then dropped on the ground playing dead, and it did it well for quite some time. Few puffs from a water sprinkle brought it back to life quite quickly to pose for few different kind of clicks. Taken in the garden. Bath, BANES, Somerset, England, U.K.

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!

One of several scenic ranges that make up the West Elk Mountains, the Ruby Range is the backdrop for some beautiful views of fall color. The aspen on the southern flanks of the range make up the most extensive stands in Colorado, only a portion of which are seen here from Beckwith Pass. The two prominent peaks are Ruby Peak and Mount Owen. The conifer forests here have escaped the outbreaks of spruce beetle that have killed numerous trees in surrounding mountain ranges.

This little guy was quite the acrobatic, using grass stems to travel between Tansy plants after a recent downpour. The rain had caused a lot of the grass to bend over in the weight of the water. I guess it was easier to travel via them rather than all the way to the ground and back up again.

And so the tiny beetle was a perfect protein lunch for my friend.

Delta flower beetles are diurnal (active during daylight). Throughout much of their adult life, they are commonly found on and near flowers within tall grass and meadows. Their adult life revolves completely around flowers. Mating occurs on flowers and their adult diet consists mostly of pollen.

Checkered Beetle, about 8mm long. I photographed it today in Maryland.

So... Today I spent several hours on three different reserves looking for Oil beetle Triungulins, and after having checked hundreds of flowers I gave it up as a bad job.

But after getting home and looking through the few shots I'd taken of a little solitary bee, I found this.

Yay !! Happy bunny. :@)
