Default Devouring Daisy

Photographers Comments
I found this cute little beetle the other day , but it was too small to capture with my zoom lens . I went back to the same area yesterday with the H5 and managed to find one on a wild oxeye daisy .... Dont have a clue what the bug is .

Thank you Else , I walk 6 klm a day , but I don't always take a camera .... that 6 k can too easily turn into 4 hours if I am packing a camera

Thanks for the comments Barry , glad you like it

Thank you for the identification Chris ... I will have to google it now and see what I can learn about this beetle , I'm already liking the name better

I never really go near flower with bug; but I'm all in if it's a ladybird
I might have to rethink about it again.. because that beetle is totally pretty!

Great capture Donna, the colours work well together and you have composed it brilliantly, you'l have to get a close up of a big slug!! Denny's favourites

Thank you very much Adila
There are quite a few harmless and cute bugs out there besides the lovely ladybirds . Daisies are a good flower to watch , seems lots of little bugs and butterflys like them
