I noticed this predator after downloading some photos of Dracunculus vulgaris. It's pungent odor, think rotting meat, attracts lots of fly and beetle pollinators. Any ideas what it might be?
"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
