Clytra laeviscula
This short-horned leaf beetle is small black and red insect, about 1 cm in length; with narrow body. It sports red elytras with four black spots. And I believe I surprised this lady in the midlle of oviposition (Ph N° 2 and 5).
A common european beetle, seen in diverse habitats - thrives in woodland areas, grasslands but also parks in urban setting. Here seen in rather rural or semi-urban setting: in a very calm small rural town not too far away from Geneva, and in its big wooded + meadow park. The town and the park are close to slopes of Jura and coasts of lake Leman (Geneva).
