    These were all taken in the garden, so if someone tells you that they don't have any beetles they might be kidding you a little. The Beetles Yes, they were all taken in the garden

    Something else to watch for this summer, your photos make it a much more enjoyable adventure.

    It just goes to show what's under our feet. I've never thought to take pictures of any of the beetles we get here but maybe I should. I doubt if I have the variety of species and colours that you have though. Excellent photographs. :-D

    It's easy to forget how amazing all insects are until you see them up close. Thanks Kildale, great shots as always!

    Holy moly! I hope those were magnified a lot! I don't think we have all those here.Quite colorful.I've seen
    some of them. I can remember those that roll manure into little balls.Use to see them on the path when I went to fetch the milk cows when I was a kid.
