Thank you Matthijs :) Apparently both the red headed and black headed are common in Denmark...
Matthijs
thats great! Just read the are quite rare.. The Red headed Cardinal beetle is seen more often.. good spotting!
Jeannette
I just couldn't get it right, now I am happy :)
Matthijs
Yes, indeed. its a Cardinal beetle.. (Black headed Cardinal beetle)
Jeannette
Now with new identity, thanks to Matthijs' spotting and Atul :) I didn't liked the other ID, it puzzled me...
Antoine Verfaille
I think that's the angle of the picture. Most pictures are made from the top side of the animal. Or it has a strict diet ;)
Jeannette
But this one seems a bit slimmer an longer...?
Jeannette
Thank you Yes it thought it was that :)
