Thanks for your well thought out comments Güni and I'm glad you like this shot. I seem to have a lot of these beautiful beetles in the garden this year, so I've a couple more shots yet to post.

My wife and I don't get out as often as we used to but being able to go into the garden keeps us sane..!!

I love the colours of the flower and the beetles, plus I have learnt how to tell male from female, another win for IP!
