Pollen Scoffer

I saw a massive bluebottle in the garden - easily the size of a small bird! But, of course, he'd gone by the time I'd phoned the Guinness Book of Records.

Never mind, I thought, I'll blip a dandelion - it's been a while. Looking around at the handful of flowers left I found this beautiful critter scoffing pollen. Flash, snap, blip! Worth a look large I think to see more detail.

Edit: Thanks to RoyMcDine for the id. 'Flower beetle' - (Oedemera nobilis).
