Striking a Pose - _TNY_3495
I found this male red-brown longhorn beetle (Stictoleptura rubra) on top of a tree stump where some thin blades of grass had managed to grow out of it.
No idea what it was doing, but it stayed completely still like this for me which meant I was able to snap several shots of him.
Looks kind of funny with the way one foot is up on the blade of grass like that.
This is the male, for a shot of the female which is a beautiful tomato red, please have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50322881603/
