$Leptura quadrifasciata, the spotted longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. \nAdult beetles are 11–20 mm long, black with four more or less continuous transverse yellow bands. In extreme cases the elytra may be almost entirely black. It is found throughout the Northern and Central Palaearctic region. \nLarvae make meandering galleries in various trees, including oak, beech, birch, willow, alder, elder and spruce. The life cycle lasts two or three years.\nThe adults are very common flower-visitors, especially Apiaceae species, feeding on pollen and the nectar (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands.$

Wild, or wood, angelica ((Angelica sylvestris)) is a lover of shaded and moist riversides and woodlands. As with many wild flowers, it has been assigned many herbal / medicinal attributes. It has been a popular food, with leaves, young shoots and stems used as an aromatic addition to salads; or cooked and used as a vegetable. The chopped leaves are said to be a good addition to cooked acid fruits, especially rhubarb. There are recipe suggestions on the Internet. However, as with all riverside umbellifer ('umbrella') flowers, you need to be sure of your identification, since the white-flowered varieties include hemlock and water-drop hemlock, both of which are poisonous. Seen feeding in this photo is a large and common (Volucella) hoverfly.
