Beetle umbel inflorescence north from Orekhovo, north from ...

The image depicts a close-up view of two beetles on a cluster of small white flowers. The insects are positioned at the center and lower-right corner of the frame, with their bodies facing towards the left side of the image.

Each beetle has long antennae that extend upwards from its head, while its brown-colored body is covered in fine hairs. Its legs and thorax are black, giving it a striking contrast to its reddish-brown elytra.

The background is filled by an abundance of tiny white flowers arranged in clusters around the beetles. These inflorescences resemble umbels, which are characteristic of certain plant families such as Apiaceae (carrot or parsley family), Araliaceae (ivy or ginseng family), and Asteraceae (daisy or sunflower family).

The image was captured on July 11th in Orekhovo, north from Saint Petersburg, Russia. – AI vision
