Blue Mint Beetle

Thank you Sumukha and Kuheli!

excellent shot..

Cool spotting Atul..! I got a similar one too..:-)

yes we did :-) thanks again!

You're very welcome :) I'm glad I could be of help. And I am happy that we cracked down the name of the spieces of this little beauty.

Thank you so much Maria for the id , i think it is correct . In some articles it is mentioned that it is native to Europe ,some others say it is expanding its range ...
According ti this pdf http://www.fera.defra.gov.uk/plants/plan... its range extends to India as well.

Beautiful shot! Love it. Thanks for sharing :) I was not able to find any decent article in English, so I attached the french wikipedia article. Take a look and see if it might be the species I suggested.

Too good!
