I found this critter crawling on this plant. Which I am told on good authority is a hydrangea; the plant not the bug. I have no idea what the bug is outside of being a member of the beetles. Not to be mistaken as a member of the Beatles.
Shot this and several hundred other photos earlier today trying to get some macro shots of some ants also found crawling on the same bush. Apparently you have to either glue the ants in place or drug them into a stupor to get them to stand still long enough to get a half-decent shot. I could have bribed them with some sweet nectar. But besides being highly unethical, just where am I going to score some nectar at this time of year? The bees pretty much have the market cornered and I didn't feel like setting up a sting operation. So instead I settled on taking some shots of this rather sedate beetle that was out working on it's tan in the afternoon sun.
Enjoy and your comments welcomed.
