Trichodes

The Checkered Beetles (Trichodes) are generally brightly coloured with hairy bodies, soft elytra, and large heads. Most are predators on wood-boring beetles in forests. Some species of trichodes are predators of larvae in the nests of bees and wasps.

PLANT

Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Ranunculales
Family: Ranunculaceae
Genus: Ranunculus

Ranunculus is a large genus of about 400 species of plants in the Ranunculaceae. It includes the buttercups, spearworts, water crowfoots and the lesser celandine.

They are mostly herbaceous perennials with bright yellow or white flowers (if white, still with a yellow centre); some are annuals or biennials, and a few have orange or red flowers.

Buttercups usually flower in April or May.

All Ranunculus species are poisonous when eaten fresh by cattle, horses, and other livestock, but their acrid taste means they are usually left uneaten. Poisoning can occur where buttercups are abundant in overgrazed fields where little other edible plant growth is left, and the animals eat them out of desperation. The poisons are degraded by drying, so hay containing dried buttercups is safe.

Hi Serhan
This is a lovely bug and those red colours must surely mean some kind of danger. Well captured although a smaller aperture could have improved the DOF. I cannot see what the shutter speed was so I don't know if you had any room to play with.
The colours are fine and the BG is great. The exposure was well managed in this late afternoon light.
Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Serhan,
