CMR (blister, or oil) beetle (Meloidae) on flowers of bushy bindweed (Convolvulus prostratus) on roadside of a road from Khawzan to Al-Jumayliyah. Qatar
The image features two blister beetles situated atop white flowers with yellow centers. The beetle's black body is adorned with distinctive orange markings on its thorax, elytra, and abdomen. Its antennae are long and slender, while its legs are short and sturdy.
The beetle appears to be feeding on the flower's pollen or nectar, as it stands upright with a portion of its body inserted into the flower. The surrounding area is blurred, but the background suggests that the flowers and beetle are situated in a natural outdoor environment, possibly near a road or pathway. – AI vision
