The Flowers... Finally!

I consider myself quite lucky to get this photo. It seems that unknown to me the deer seem to like to eat these flowers. The stalk that I had been watching for weeks is now a bare stick only 10cm high! And this one was in the sunshine. It seems the deer and I are not the only things interested in these flowers. How many little insects can you count?
