What a great combination, one of my favourite flowers and a Thick legged beetle.
The male beetle can be this or turquoise in colour and feeds on the pollen of plants. I see it a lot on ox-eyed daises, as I suppose with them being an open flower they are easy to feed from.
For as long as I can remember I have been interested in Nature and Wildlife. But my interest in plants and gardening came later. I feel that this might be due to the fact , that as a child I was dragged around garden centres and nurseries every weekend and I hated it.
It wasn't until I had a house and family of my own that the uncontrollable urge to visit them again began to surface.
The purchase of a digital camera in 2002 was the start of a new obsession, PHOTOGRAPHY. It seemed natural to start to photograph the nature, wildlife and plants that have always interested me so much. The Blog will keep you up to date with how all my interests continue to develop.You can view more of my images at Dragons and Damsels Wildlife Photography.
