I though of an Octopus tentacle when I first looked at this, how very strange !

When first saw it thought it must be some form of insect .. yes Dawn those with flowers in background nettle flowers just emerging.The little beetle lives only on nettles and pollenates them .. its thought they carry the fungus spores too.
