A bug's life


Well, I recently discovered that there are flower flies; yesterday I learned that there are flower beetles, that share the work of plant pollination. I found this flower longhorn beetle, a variety called Tpocerus velutinus, specific to plants of the parsley family, on this Queen Anne's Lace blossom. (Yes, Queen Anne's Lace belongs to the parsley family.)
