These little beetles are also known as bonking beetles - no surprise because usually when you see them that is precisely what they are doing! They were on this seed head, I snapped the stem and placed it in a crack on a wooden gate to hold it steady so I could get the required angle and background.
All C&C welcome.

Jon....Nicely handled! Your exposure looks good and you certainly have good detail throughout. I personally would like to see a bit more color in the bg
