I don't have many photos of each of those little buggers, so I will show them all together. Also because I found them all in one place - my mum's garden within few days.
There is room for every little creature.
I am not quite sure of this one. I managed find similar ones online and they are all called Longhorn beetles. Such an ugly thing! :p
I didn't see more of those around, just this one sitting on a gooseberry leaf.
See? It is long.
And it is a horn (kindoff).
I think I got it right :p
Next up is one we all know.
There is plenty of Ladybirds around. Since my mum doesn't use any pesticides in the edible part of the garden, the little beetles have some work to do munching aphids. You can even see some of them down the flower stem.
Anthrenus pimpinellae is a very tiny beetle that can be found worldwide. I noticed it like white flowers for some reason. Here it was feeding on some blooming bush, but I also saw it on wild carrot flowers.
Quite cute, round, each with a unique pattern. They are not bigger than 4-5mm, but there is plenty of them!
Last but not least a Firebug.
Just 'cause they are everywhere!
And some bugs were less lucky..

Excellent photos. I really miss the beetle in the first photos. Nice walk in the garden. You captured those residents very well.
Un abrazo.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Lovely macro photos of strange looking insects. They are so lucky to be in this garden, now they are in lime light!
It's always informative to visit your blog. I love that one with all the Anthrenus pimpinellae. They look so happy among those pretty blooms. Makes me want to be a beetle for a day.
Haha they looked pretty cheerful there. All walking around like in a little beetle city :)
