This beetle affectionates Trollius-flowers on which I could see quite many of them. The design on its wings can be variable, it's why the first time I saw this insect it took me a long time to find out its ID.

Hallo Anne,
diesen 'Troll' auf der entsprechenden Blume habe ich noch nicht beobachten können.
Er zeichnet sich wunderbar von der Blüte ab. Der Tiefenschärfenbereich ist gut gewählt,
die Schärfe exzellent. Dies zeigt sich auch anhand der Oberflächenstruktur der Blütenblätter.
Einen schönen Abend, Peter

Bonsoir Anne,

Bonne soirée et bon week-end,

Hello Anne,
Great capture of a Longhorn Beetle, B. interrogationis, that I haven't seen before in Sweden, though G. sylvaticum is common. I like the composition on the Globeflower and the image is nice and sharp.
Thanks for sharing this excellent image.
Bonn soirée,

Hi Anne,
Wonderful shot of this Long Horn Beetle on that charming flower. Same flower but different guest this time. Very neat and sharp image with lovely colours and details. Great lighting and exposure and you have captured the beetle in a fine pose. Excellent POV to portray it and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Anne,
What a beautiful Longhorn Beetle on the pretty Trollius flower! Excellent sharp capture showing details very well and in beautiful light too. Well done!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

The perches of your subjects are as interesting as the subjects themselves, Anne.
Brilliant capture of a bug atop this nice looking flower.
Sharp and crisp image with fine details and colours.

Un'altra splendida macro con l'insetto posato su questo bellissimo fiore, eccellenti POV e taglio compositivo, straordinaria definizione dei dettagli sia del fiore che dell'insetto, molto belli i colori e BG scuro. Grazie e complimen ti. Ciao Maurizio

Bonsoir Anne,
Quel casse-tête ces coléoptères pour les identifier! Mais quelle joie quand on trouve enfin. C'est en effet un des bénéfices secondaires de TN. Superbe spécimen avec un joli motif sur les élythres. Je ne l'ai pas encore croisé. Amitiés,
Catherine

Bonjour Anne, c'est incroyable comme tes photos sont belles et que je ne visite pas ta galerie plus souvent! En fait, nous sommes tellement de gens sur ce site que je trouve malheureux de ne pas avoir plus de temps ni plus de ptits biscuits à distribuer! J'adore ces fleurs, on croirait un jaune d'oeuf en fleur. Avec cet insecte, la photo est réussie. Merci!

Francine

Bonjour Anne
Très belle prise, excellentes couleurs et détails, très beau sujet, contraste très bien choisi!

Liebe Anne,

auch Käfer gelingen Dir! Diese Art habe ich noch nie gesehen, ein Ereignis auch für TN. Trollblume als Support, schön anzusehen. Da bietet sich ein zentrierter Ausschnitt an. Die Reflexe der Sonne auf dem Rücken zeigen, wie scharf Dein Bild geworden ist. Das positive Echo liess nicht auf sich warten.
Herzlich grüsst

Hi Anne.
You have produced an amazing close-up picture. I like all in it. Subject is fine. Beautiful insect on a wonderful bud is looked by the best way. I am impressed with sharpness and details of both objects. DOF is selected very well. Lights is wonderful too as well as the cropping. Bravo and my kind regards.
Alexei.

Hi Anne, great composition with lovely bug and splendid flower with fantastic colors, fine details and great sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Liebe Anne,
in wunderbar verhaltener Farbigkeit perfekt ausgeleuchtete kleine Szene von üppiger Räumlichkeit und feiner Harmonie der Komposition. Ein sehr ansprechendes Dokument dieses hübschen Bockkäfers, der fleischig kugeligen Trollblume, des üppigen Lebens auf einer Bergwiese im Frühsommer.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Bonjour Anne,
Une photo très belle, j'aime la composition que tu as obtenue avec la fleur en occupant de manière harmonieuse la photo et cet insecte joli en occupant sa partie supérieure. Illumination très bonne et photo.

Hello Anne,
a nice bug that has different pattern.
Lovely perching position on an attractive flower.
Great composition. We have something like this one, but with different colours.
Hope to catch a few sooner.
