Morning everyone...in my post today I have focused on two bugs...my lovely shot here of my bee. Plus a beetle shot. In the bee shot I was very amazed at how determined this bee really was...took a while for it to work it's way inside the flower. I found this process interesting. With the beetle though I was surprised...I haven't been in the country for some time now I have forgotten the song of the grasshopper. So when I heard this noise I thought I was tracking grasshoppers but when I finally found what it was it shocked me. Up on a branch this beetle was vibrating it's wings so fast that it was creating this noise. Mind you it took me and hour and almost on the edge of frustration to find it. Even though it was very large...I just couldn't see it till I was basically right on top of it. I even said out loud...Finally I found you!! One on my frustrations with my eye sight. My sons would have found the bug in no time if I had taken them out with me. But I didn't give up !!! Anyone know what kind of beetle it could be?Monday, June 15, 2009
