Thanks Güni.........I'm very pleased you like this image. The Feverfew flowers are very popular with the insects, but they are nearly finished flowering.

(But I've still got another couple of photos to post yet)>

Thanks Fred........glad you like it.

A beautifully composed macro, Keith ! I like the arrangement very much !

Thank you Ulrich...........I'm very pleased you like it. You're very kind.

Wow as everyone has already said - this is a fantastic shot, Keith. The details you've managed to capture are fabulous, and the beetle looks as if it's tired and is rubbing its back.

Thank you kind lady............I'm please you like this one. Such lovely comments.

Bel insecte assorti aux couleurs des fleurs et un arrière-plan très réussi*******

A beetle in a camouflage jacket! Well seen and beautifully captured Keith
Excellent colours and fine detail, have a great weekend.

Haha.......it's very well camouflaged isn't it? I might not have noticed it if I hadn't seen it flying in.

Glad you like this one Roger..........and thanks for your kind comments.

Ever day is a school day on here beverley......you learn something every time you look.

Super! Das ist die Belohnung für deinen blütenreichen Garten, Keith!

Thanks Wilhelm..........it's always good to see something new in the garden. Glad you like it.

The beetle was perfectly dressed to match its resting place. This is a superb shot!

It was. If I hadn't seen it flying in, I might have missed it altogether! Glad you like the shot!

Beautiful images

Wish you a serene week ahead!

Thank you Annemarie............and the same to you!
