Hi Janet - I posted something very similr to this a week or so ago and they were identified as Byturus ochraceus, although mine were feeding on buttercups. Perhaps they like yellow flowers?

Hi Jez,

I was thinking the same thing, they do like yellow flowers!

I should have linked to the other thread where this was being discussed.. but you probably saw it.

Hi everyone,

no.1 yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss
no.2 yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss
no.3 yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss

don't think to much about the coloure of flowers or what ever. They can life in the same habitats, feeding on flowers, never mind if yellow ones or white ones or what ever. Just look at the eyes. It's easy if you know what to look for.

Thanks for the confirmation, I'm glad you said yeeeessssssssss for all three Klaas, they are all the same beetle! roflol!

I wonder if anyone has seen them on white flowers..

I find them on Crataegus amd many other bushes and flowers. So no problem.
