Nearly stepped on this magnificent male Stag beetle who clinched to the pavement. He didn’t have any visible injury, but wasn’t particularly active though stayed alert on a gentle touch. Gracefully taken sugary syrup, but it didn’t boost his energy to see the next day. Morden, Surrey.

This looks like some sort of beetle similar to a lady bug, but I can't ID it. It was very tiny, and is crawling along the leaf stem on a Plumeria tree.
These beetles are present in most of Europe, they are about 10 millimeters long and can be encountered from May through July feeding on flowers.
The sides of the chest and the back of the abdomen are covered with a pubescence, hence the popular name of Bee beetle of Trichius species. Head and pronotum are black, while the elytra are yellowish, crossed by a few black bands.
The first black band usually does not reach the scutellum, other bands are incomplete and the second has a rectangular form. The color of hair usually is more orange-red compared to Trichius fasciatus. Median tibiae are without teeth. In males, only the penultimate abdominal segment has a band of white hairs.

Since I didn't know which of the three edits of this photo I liked the best, I decided to post all three.
Heliotaurus ruficollis (toro del sol) es un escarabajo llamativo, común en la región mediterránea occidental. Mide 1,5 cm y todo el cuerpo -incluidas las largas antenas y patas- es negro salvo el pronoto (placa dorsal del torax) que es de color rojo oscuro tirando a granate.
Los tenebriónidos se alimentan generalmente de detritos, aunque éste en particular es una especie florícola de hábitos diurnos, que se alimenta de néctar, polen, y también de los propios órganos florales. Es, por tanto, un insecto beneficioso porque contribuye a al polinización cruzada de las flores. Sin embargo, también es destructivo en cuanto que es un devorador insaciable de flores. Sobre las flores realiza también el apareamiento y la puesta. Las larvas viven en el suelo y son detritívoras.

Żuczek niebrzydki, ale szkodnik, więc raczej mało pożądany w ogrodzie. Tego znalazłam na działce u teściowej.

Skittles - Convergent Lady Beetles congregating for fall/winter hibernation. This is a native species of lady beetle that congregates in forests around the west coast in the fall/winter months.
