Rose chafer beetle (Macrodactylus subspinosus) on DSV

In addition to this little beetle, there were green lacewings, various moths, a few long dash skippers, a nice fresh summer azure butterfly, a large northern pearly eye, and about 30 European skippers. As well, there were all sorts of plant bugs, wool carder bees, megachilids, bumblebees, honey bees, sweat bees, and so on. All this despite the showers that came on suddenly. Since they didn't last too long, once the sun came back out, so did the insects.

Une posture amusante pour cet insecte et il s'accroche bien à son brin d'herbe.
c'est bien vu. Jolie photo.
