Flower beetle

The gardens behind my office were buzzing with insects at lunchtime and I took loads of photos. I've chosen this one because of the textures and colours. I love the frilly edges to the petals and the curly stamens. The intense orange against the green blurry background also appeals to me. for some reason. 
One of those days where you just don't want to have to go back into a hot, windowless office.
