A beautiful capture of these beetles, Pam. They remind me very much of the 'Christmas Beetles' we have in the middle of our summers.

Pam, one of the things I like about a place like this is all the place and things I get to see, many of them, as you said, things and places I'll only ever see in photos. It's wonderfuls eeing the world around us through others' eyes including your own.

Thankyou Ron.....

Its the joy of the friendships and the photos.. the pleasure of learning and sharing.

Merci Gérard !

This brings back not-so-great memories of when I was playing an outdoor concert and the June bugs were mating. They would try to fly while mating - each bug aiming in a different direction. I was whacked in the head repeatedly by pairs of bugs throughout the concert. My husband found it amusing to watch me shriek and swat at them.

Oh Esther !!

I can feel for you... these crazies also have no telemetry ! They also insist in try ing to drown in the birdbaths !

Congratulations on a perfect shot.

Thankyou Dick !

A superb shot of these colourful creatures!
