This little #SoldierBeetle was hanging out on our #BlueFlag iris’s today. Soldier Beetles are great for gardens, so I hope you find some in yours this year. They eat aphids, and they help to pollinate flowers as they feed on the nectar and pollen. The little beetles are super important to driving a diverse ecosystem in your garden! #NateGeo #photooftheday #photography #macrophotography #bugs #bugslife #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #nature #conservation
