Wow a lovely image from these amazing beetle, for so much that we can observe here and get into nature it seems to be a good insect year, notwithstanding that we are again struggling here with a very dry period, and this early in the season, great work Christine BV

Interesting looking but not my favorite bug! That mouth is kind of scary looking.
