Camouflaged

17 Jul 2006

I've never seen this kind of flower before, vivid orange colour and with fur, so obviously I had to take some shots of it. Then I spotted this little beetle perched on the end of one leaf, just hanging out, as you do. Thankfully he was patient enough to stay still while my camera struggled to macro focus on the right spot so I got just the shot I wanted!

I love that his markings are almost the same colour as the flowers. Nice camouflage.
