In a prickly situation
 |
| a common red soldier beetle |
 |
| whiles away the day with a soft-chitined companion. |
 |
| Some seek quiet, private corners for their trysts; |
 |
| Others proclaim their love from the highest peaks. |
Soldier beetles, Ragonycha fulva, on thistles, White Rock beach.

And do they sing?
I guess they don't feel our need for privacy. :) Neat photos, I've been seeing these guys around for a few weeks but kept forgetting to look up who they are. Now I know!
Talk about a bed of nails! Great shots as usual!! - Margy
