Beetle evidently picked too good a flower. First, he was beset by an ant, who nibbled at his forelegs. Beetle pushed it away. Ant then tried to graw on a back leg, received a kick in the face, then quit the battlefield. A syrphid arrived and was content to share, until a skipper plopped down directly on the beetle. The beetle stayed in place and was still there fifteen minutes later when I left.
