Very unique color! So colorful! Like a flower!
Thanks to all for your comments on this spotting.
Amazing beetle and beautiful picture, Congrats for the SODT
Well deserved SOTD MacC. I used to see these always, when I was growing up, they were on just about every second leaf you turned over (not quite, but very common!) - but very rarely now do I see any. Will be in that region again next week so will keep an eye out!
Congrats Mac, beautiful SOTD!
