Tumbling flower beetle (Mordellidae) on parsley. (Black and white version)
I’m going to ignore the fatal flaw of this photo (except to point it out: that blurry bit of the parsley in the foreground. And say: it’s a crying shame). I think (I think) I like the black and white version better. Usually, it’s hands-down the color version for me, but it’s close so I’m going to feature the B&W this time.
I’ve been thinking lately whether I should just put the best version up and let the other go — sometimes I wonder if both together does neither its full justice. I’ll probably just go with the ones I have already processed, and maybe in the future develop fully only the version that works best. (Color version below.)

I’m not trying to be contrary but I prefer the color version, as I usually do. The thing I like most about the color version is that I see the beetle is black with grey markings which for me is not what I usually see. Ignoring bees and wasps most black insects I see are all black without the interesting markings of this one. Kind of ironic that what I like most about the color version is the black and gray. :)
