Beetle in Canterbury bell
Now's the time to look at all the flowers in your garden more closely - you will find a whole world of tiny invertebrates using them. Here is Oedemera nobilis, the Swollen-thighed beetle (except this is a female with much more slinky thighs), in the great big amphitheatre of a white Canterbury bell. Behind her, out of focus, one of the hundreds of Variable carpet beetles swarming all over my garden flowers.
