Caught this the other day and been meaning to post it.
Nothing special, just a beetle in standard issue black, but with a purpley-blue sheen to the edges of his shell. The girls loved it, Mum screamed when they brought it over to show her, and I... of course... whipped out my SwissChamp to grab a photo for the forum!

Trying to document spring here in Texas before it disappears!
You definitely struck while the iron was hot. Great photo! :tu:

Yeah, she hates all kinds of things like that... makes you wonder why we live in the countryside.
I'm trying to train the girls to eschew such feminine stereotypes, though.

Thanks, Barry and Steve  :cheers:

Some kind of moth that landed on our door. The perfect subject I got real close and it never moved.

Found this guy on the ground today. Blue winged mud dauber I think.  Would not have gotten close if still moving…

I took these pictures of some of my Böker 182's for a post on another forum.  I'm interested in how the tree shield evolved in the first few decades of production.
