Wasp Beetle - Clytus arietis
The Wasp Beetle lives up to its name by mimicking the Common Wasp in both colouration and in its behaviour, moving in a jerky fashion similar to a wasp's flight. This mimicry keeps it safe from predators, even though it is actually harmless. |

Lots to see and enjoy but, for me,the shot of the day is the wasp beetle. Never seen one but will keep on looking. Great shots all round.
