    Beetle seems to match the center of the daisy. I wonder why beetles are so shiny?

    So pretty, the beetle too. I like the tint of the one opening up.

    Erigeron? I hope the beetle was just taking a rest break and not up to no good.

      Yes, E. pulchella. It may have been munching, but being a temporary patch of lawn flowers that get mowed after blooming, I wasn’t too worried. 🙂

    It is very easy to lose your “loves me, loves me not” count on a daisy fleabane. I can’t blow it up, but it surely does look like there is a selfie on that beetle. 🙂

    Small creature quietly going about its life. 🙂

    In the photo at least they enhance each other. Lovely signs of summer …

    I love the Zen of this photo, Eliza. The daisies in several stages of life, and the iridescent insect who looks to be holding a bit of something in its mouth. Thanks for sharing this moment of beauty.

    Daisies seem to be well loved by shiny beetles here too … mine are covered in thick-thighed flower beetles. You timed your shot exactly right. P.s. I love the lilac flush on the new flower (it makes them prettier en masse too)

    Erigeron species make endearing subjects.

    This is beautiful Eliza! The beetle looks bronze-colored.
