A milder day today with a cool breeze...which is why I'm posting this shot from yesterday! Hope you're not too cold guys :)

Not sure of the ID for this beetle yet. The plant that it is on is Cassinia aculeata or "dolly bush", native to the area. There were quite a few beetles, usually only one on any flower group.

This is quite a pleasant image :D . I have never heard of a Dolly Bush but I have heard of Dolly Parton, maybe it was named after her, is the plant sort of "top heavy?" :-k :lol:

Nice shot. The beetle is a scarab of some sort.

Used to be a CW fan but not anymore. Country music sounds more like rock music anymore, the country is gone out of it. :(

Very nice shot Steve. So far it has been a very mild winter...no snow this year for a white Christmas yet. (I never liked CM :oops: )
