    I was actually in the garden pond with my wellies on taking this shot, I hadn't seen one of these critters before. Despite the ominous appearance it is just a pollen eating beetle.

    It's a great image, not sure if it is in the correct forum though. :)

    Cheers,

    Hi Jon,

    A nicely colored beetle. And I like the composition and placement on the stem.

    Wonderful color and detail -- the second insect is a nice bonus.
