Common Red Soldier Beetle and a Plague Soldier Beetle with Queen Anne's Lace, Leagrave Park VIII　An important disclaimer I want to make about the plants in these photos: I'm not certain that they're Queen Anne's Lace (wild carrot). I'm not an expert of plant (or wildlife in general) identification by any means and I do my best to review various resources online that are reliable (with plants, I use PlantNet as a starting point, but then I turn to websites such as Woodland Trust, RHS, etc. for confirmation).

I'm explaining this because I think it's important to point out that while wild carrot is a known edible, Fool's Parsley and Poison Hemlock are dangerous known lookalikes (Common Hogweed is similar in appearance as well). Although the telltale single flower (black or red?) in the middle seems to be absent or difficult to spot in my photos, the plants in my photos do seem to resemble Queen Anne's Lace more than they do the lookalikes (the flowers are more spaced out with Poison Hemlock, and the stem looks different from Fool's Parsley, the flowers and overall plant's shape looks different from Common Hogweed to me), hence my decision that what I've photographed is, indeed, Queen Anne's Lace.　@ Greenery in Kempston, Bedfordshire, UK.　Apple iPad 4th Gen　July 2013.
