...or as fast as a spotted cucumber beetle is capable of... :) It didn't take long for this little guy to find my newly-purchased poppies and help himself to a lunch of fresh pollen. (A little more warming up in Central TX and I can start planting!)

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday - make it so!

  Perfect detail as usual in your gorgeous macro work, Ms. V! Cute title too! Up here in WNY, we can't begin our planting until the end of May, which sort of seems like forever at this point, although we have no snow on the ground! It's been a weird winter!

  What a delightful peek into this pretty flower, Val! That`s the cutest little bug I`ve seen in a long time, too. :))) I bet you had fun chasing him around the petals. :)))

Love it and hope you have been doing great. :)

P.S. She has been seen again in the woods BTW! :) This time DANCING! I know. I know! That next!
