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.
Nature notes and photos from BC, Canada, mostly in the Lower Fraser Valley, Bella Coola, and Vancouver Island.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
And do they sing?
ReplyDeleteI 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!
