What a strange creature, I've never seen one of these before. Nice to get a shot of him on that big flower with the bright green and sunlight in the background. Technically a great photo too, perfect exposure and lovely detail and colour. Great shot!
Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Tanja,

This is a strange looking bug. You have shown it well with good detail and colours. I don't think I have ever seen a bee beetle before so thank you for educating me and thanks for sharing. Well done.

Dean.
