What a lovely looking beetle! A Golden-bloomed grey longhorn beetle?
Since I had my boring lawn converted to a wildflower meadow, there have been loads of new species that visit it. Too many for me to know each and every single one. It would require a whole new learning curve for that ever to happen and mean many hours on my computer instead of being outside!
Golden-bloomed grey longhorn? In my wildlife garden just before taking off
The Golden -bloomed grey longhorn beetle, (Agapanthia villosoviridescens) is very aptly named though with its very long antennae which are striking both in length and colour. It’s the first time I have ever noticed one. No doubt attracted by the variety of wildflowers in the meadow.

By biting a small hole into plant stems, it then lays its eggs. See more information here
