A couple of shots of beetle dick for those who appreciate that kind of thing. I’m not sure what’s going on in the second shot, I only saw males in that cluster. Didn’t realise there was any action going on though, and I might well have missed a female under it all. (This is the problem with big-camera macro, sometimes you only realise in post processing there’s something you’d like to investigate further and it’s long too late.) #beetles #insects #MacroPhotography

Pygopleurus vulpes! A bumblebee scarab beetle, and no matter how often I see these little fuzzballs I still delight in their weirdness. These are literally in our back yard, I feel incredibly lucky to have this kind of thing just forcing itself into my attention. (Northern Greece.) #beetles #insects #MacroPhotography
