Buttercup Beetle Bonanza

[best appreciated at full size against black]

I was taking pictures of Grand Hound's Tongue blossoms when I noticed there was something crawling around on this little buttercup. Because my attention was elsewhere, I just took this one picture, more for curiousity to see later on my computer. Imagine my surprise when I discovered there was an entire convention of tiny beetles having a party on this one quarter-sized flower!! How did I miss my invitation!! :D
