Orchid + beetle = Orchid beetle

I'm seeing quite a lot of these beetles around the nature reserve at the moment - Dascillus cervinus or Orchid beetle. Apparently they are found in grassland habitats where there are also orchids, though it is not clear that they are actually strongly associated with orchid plants. This one was clambering all over a Twayblade orchid...just to add to the debate.
