Here's a violet tanbark beetle (Callidium violaceum), a species in the longhorn beetle family which lays its eggs in dead spruce and pine wood - preferably dry wood which makes it drawn to stored firewood
Despite what the name suggests, these also come in a greenish blue tone as well as this darker violet version. It's not a gender thing, they just come in both colours. Here's an example of the other colour form: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/29973426382/
The Fuzz would like to wish all his friends and fans on flickr a Happy Easter.
Also Bernie and I would like to wish our Flickr friends a Happy Easter.
This was made for me by my friend

What most likely is a tree bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum), aka new garden bumblebee just outside our house.
Native grasses glow in golden backlight at Lincoln Marsh, a natural area near my home in Wheaton. Thanks for viewing! FYI, because I'll be traveling, this will be my last post for the next three weeks or so. Take care! I'll look forward to catching up on your latest and greatest fine photos and interesting Toy Stories when I return :)

Is it weird that sometimes I just like to stand on the dock, overlooking Innsmouth Harbor, with ol' Fuzz... and just... stand there?

This diurnal moth refueling on a heartleaf ox-eye (Telekia speciosa) is called Chersotis cuprea. It was quite unafraid of me sticking a lens in its face and kept probing the flower with its long proboscis.
The stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) in Tyresta National Park were very low, like five cm (2") off the ground in early May, but this fuzzy little eating machine had still gotten started.
Eventually, this one will metamorphosize into a spectacularily beautiful moth known as the garden tiger moth (Arctia caja), or great tiger moth, which I would very much like to find and shoot.
The English name is a bit weird though as this one belong to Arctiidae which somehow is called "tiger moths". Why is that weird? Well, the name Arctiidae comes from the Greek "Arctos" meaning "bear" so in other languages like Swedish it's "björnspinnare" (björn = bear) and in German "Bärenspinner" (Bär = bear).
On a sidenote, "The Arctic", the region I mean, is named after this as well so it is litterally "the place with bears - and thus the Antarctic funnily enough is "the place without bears".
