Superb picture! I don't think I've ever seen an insect the same as this one.

Thanks Eunice.........glad you like it. These are quite common in my part of the country!

I really like the contrast of the beetle on the flower! Excellent capture, Keith!

Thank you Stephan.........their colour makes them stand out nicely in these flowers. Glad you like the shot.

well done!
beautiful image

wish you a happy weekend:)

Thank you Annemarie..........appreciated.

Fantastic close up and excellent detail Keith, the colour contrast between the beetle and the flower highlights the insect perfectly.
Wish you a good weekend

Many thanks Roger..........and much appreciated. I'm pleased you like this one!

Great find!

Superbly captured Keith. The iridescence on the beetle is lovely.

Thanks very much Ed. They really are quite striking..!!

Wow,da hast du ja ein spezielles Insekt entdeckt lieber Keith,das schaut ja toll aus,wie das bei den Beinen etwas dicker ist,eine ganz tolle Makroaufnahme mit perfekter Schärfe auf den Käfer :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thanks very much Güni..........and much appreciated. I'm pleased you like this little beauty.

Enjoy the rest of your day........and the forthcoming weekend.

An excellent capture, Keith. The beetle could well have been posing for you -- you caught it in a very good position.
