I’m eagerly, every morning, checking for any signs of day lilies to get flower stems. No stems yet. Thumbs up there will be many. Today my eye caught a beetle on a chive flower. I was super quick back inside to get my camera. I don’t know what he’s doing. Is he a flower munching beetle or is he setting eggs or is the black spot poop. It’s okay if he munches the chives but I hope he will leave my lilies untouched.
I could see the lense annoyed him because he started to crawl away.
It looked like he decided to escape, leave the field.
But, NO ! He turned around. Showing me his most scary, most mean face. Leave me alone or . . .
I warned you ! Now I’m gonna get you. This is my best attack position.
Arrrgh !
Oops, he collided the lense ! What happened to him. I was not able to find him after the last picture. Maybe he fainted or then he was able still to fly away. Good thing is the lense is fine. Sorry beetle, sorry. I hope you are fine.
Amazing capture! So lucky Alice, beautiful violet flower! 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂
😀 i’m glad you were protected by the lense! looks like you interrupted his pooping time, which is why he tried to attack you.
I think you are right, he hated being interrupted, who wouldn’t 😀
