My wife found this little chap in the back garden so I placed it on a couple of different flower/seed heads. I made a similar post a year or two ago when one of these beetles was perched on a flag iris by the garden pond.
All C& C welcome.

Thanks Peter - natural light - the sun came out for a few minutes -and it's not been back since then! I did use flash for some shots but when the sun was out I found it unnecessary. The camera was on a tripod and the seed head was clamped to a smaller tripod, the background is the lawn.

Wonderfully sharp detail! And a nice head angle that the Avian folks would approve of!
