Red & Pink - _TNY_7309
Going for a walk after lunch together with my wife in early May, she spotted a cute visitor on the elephant-eared saxifrage (Bergenia sp.) This turned out to be a ribbed pine borer (Rhagium inquisitor), most likely interested in the thujas growing directly above.
The red and pink flower really framed it nicely here and the borer was a good sport and stayed still for me so I could try out several angles.
