Between the muggy heat of the morning & the thunderstorms of this evening, I didn't spend much time looking for insects in the garden today.

But this small beetle briefly presented itself for a photo – I think it's a Dicranocephalus agilis, known as the Große Wolfsmilchwanze here in Germany & Portland spurgebug in the UK.

But I'm not 100% sure

Back in the garden after an excellent few days of the METIS science team meeting at @mpi_astro, meeting old friends & new, discussing the past, present, & future of astronomy among other things

Plus it’s another of those endless May religious public holidays here in southern Germany

For now, just a quick phone camera photo of a thick-thighed flower beetle (Oedemera nobilis) on a soggy peony.
