I recently came across this handsome Longhorn Beetle hiding among the undergrowth in an area of marshland. Despite its photogenic appearance, it’s quite often overlooked as it can appear to be a deposit of bird dropping at first glance and it tends to be much more nocturnal by nature, then this photograph might suggest.
