Bik, have a look on my olive tree (uploaded today) - it starts to bloom. I am usng paintbrush for pollination. Last year I had for three full fists of olives. This olive is my heart memory :)

Do you know what type of beetle this is? great shot:-)

Cotinus (or cotinis) nitida green june bug

I'll google it thanks;-)

ok. Ifound from a greek site too.

Bik, lol. Pollinators are hot topic. Whenever I open the computer, this photo appears among my "news". :))

I remember these from the story Gerald Durrell wrote about his life when a child, living in Greece (My Family & other animals).
The pedaler man had them on wires so that they buzzed around like toys!! Not very nice for the beetles, but I just remember that.
Such beautiful colours - poli poli orea!
