Bee Beetle - Take 2 (sigh!) by vignouse

Bee Beetle - Take 2 (sigh!)

I posted this just before midnight last night when I didn't know what it was. Having a quick peak on my 'phone this morning I was delighted to see that it had garnered 16 comments, 14 Favs and was on both TP and PP... even better, @suzanne234 had identified it for me as Trichius Fasciatus - the Bee Beetle. I went into edit to add this information into my commentary and when saving the comment I managed to tick the Delete Picture box and before I could do anything about it, I had lost the image, comments and all. And my PC has been tied up for a large chunk of the day by Windows doing a major update!

If you commented and/or Faved this before and you can find the time to do it again, I would very much appreciate it... my grateful thanks in anticipation.
You out did yourself, absolutely wonderful!

Thank you for the tag Richard, its very much appreciated. My (or googles) small moment of glory is far outshone by your beautiful image. I hope it returns to the TP and PP where it rightly deserves!

Such an amazing capture, Richard! Sorry to have missed it the first posting, but happy to fav on it this time. I know the plight of having accidentally deleted -- haven't many of us done this and been in angst?

Well done.

But it's so good that it came back on TP and PP easily again!

Nice work Richard and educational too (for me at least) as I hadn't heard of it. I guess its more beetle than bee.
