Black and Yellow Bugby *KeldBach

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Invertebrates

Feasting on the nectar of a Wild Raspberry flower. Shot handheld, natural lighting. Anyone knows what kind of bug it might be? The body is about 1 inch long and it's got wings.

Edit: thanks to *Hanafae who identified it as (most likely) being a Julodia montivagans: [link]

Edit: according to ~steffen-ehrmann it might instead be a Rutpela maculata: [link]

Sorry for the late reply, Hanafae. I don't know if insects change colours the same way as birds, but I have noticed some geographical differences in some cases. The one I referred to was a Canadian one, and mine is Danish, so that could also explain the deviance in colour

Don't worry about the late reply, I'm quite late myself

That's a very sensible explanation. They probably have evolved differently on different continents.

Glad you like it, Hanafae. Your suggestion was of great help and I think I have now identified it as a Julodia montivagans, albeit its yellow colour differs a little from mine: [link]
