I was going to say this really looks summery and then I saw the date stamp. It is :-)

Terrific full frame capture. Looks fairly large compared to the flowers. V

it has subtly attractive markings, and a good eye for a colourful snack bar..

It is quite a large bug. Nice colours with black bg. Showing them off.

Fascinating and mysterious. It almost looks furry.
