Fertile Hunting Grounds - _TNY_5663
I came across this four-banded longhorn beetle (Leptura quadrifasciata) on a white hydrangea (Spiraea betulifolia) by the garden pond in my mother-in-law's garden.
Evidently the pollen there was very tasty as it didn't pay me much attention and just walked slowly from flower to flower while eating.
Later in the day, I passed the same spot and during those hours, it had moved only like 15 centimeters / 6"!
