Soldier beetles, that is. We get different species in our corner of the globe. =)
They're out in many places around the world right now. They are excellent aphid predators. We get lots in our garden every spring.
Quite a gathering in that second photo!
wow nice addition,
Must be the right season for them, I've been seeing them everywhere lately and in big groups like your 2nd photo!
Added second photo to show a sprinkling of how many there were!
Beautiful colors.
I see there are several of them.
nice capture,
