Monochrome Monday: Beetle with pollen grains on it.

in monochromemonday •  7 years ago  (edited)

A perfect example of pollination: a beetle collecting nectar coming out of the flower covered in pollen grains, leaving a tract as far as he goes.

There are 300 000 species of beetles in the world. They only live for a year and can adapt to almost any environment.

I spotted these guys while walking in the field on the farm admiring the wild flowers.

Photos were taken with a Samsung J2.
