I don't do bugs!
I was doing my usual flower shots at the allotment - feverfew this time - when I spotted this bug on one of the flowers, remaining very stationary. I thought maybe even I, who doesn't do insects, could capture this one. Not up to fellow blipper stevvi's standard but not bad for a start. Then I thought I had better try and identify it - so I think it may be a female Oedemera nobilis. It's National Insect Week from 21st and there appears to be a photography competition - not sure this is a winner!
There are so many things to learn with photography - how the camera works for one! - but also all the things you photograph. Extra shows what I have been looking for since I shot what I thought were grapes forming on the vine on 5th June but then wondered about "grape blossom". This is it! And then I wondered why I have never seen bees swarming around grape vines - it turns out they are self fertile hermaphrodites. Something else to bore people with at a dinner party. The other extra is Feverfew - good for migraines apparently - not to get one!
