Catcall or Cattail? Pt. 3 - _TNY_3918
This male hairy reed beetle (Donacia cinerea) came walking over my wife while she was suntanning on her beach blanket by lake Långsjön in the Paradiset nature reserve in Huddinge, Sweden, on Midsummer's Eve.
Quite elegantly she handed it to me on the tip of a finger so I could photograph it here, but after that I put it on the white bark of a birch which is where I took parts 1 and two here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53024875901/ and here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53260026420/.
When not bothering my wife, these guys are really fond of cattail, Typha sp., but I can't really remember seeing any of those around where we were then.
