Pollen-y - _TNY_9994
Here is a Eurasian bee beetle (Trichius fasciatus) wich appears to have gone all in on the pollen gathering.
When I found it, it actually had more immediate issues than that though - a pesky ant decided thaqt it should overpower this much larger beetle and drag it home to the ant hill - an endeavour which didn't go exactly to plan.
Three photos showing how things worked out can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52263405305/
