The Goldilocks Syndrome

The Goldilocks Syndrome


Ignoring all the others, Plain Gold moths (Micropterix calthella) compete with Raspberry Beetles (Byturus tomentosus) for the pollen on this particular Buttercup - not too hot, not too cold, just right. My only sadness about this shot (apart from the fact that I'm not a better photographer) is that it's not a Goldilocks Buttercup (Ranunculus auricomus).
