Some Privacy, Please! - _TNY_5188

This happy couple trying to find some privacy under a petal on a danddelion are a couple of metallic wood-boring beetles (Anthaxia quadripunctata).

 

The female will then locate a pine tree and lay here eggs there and the larvae will eat the wood until they are ready to pupate.
