Nice series Martin
Thanks Shanna, beetles certainly are my focus.
Thanks Mark
Thanks Leuba, I like the pink tail in the last pic. They sure look like a lighter version of these two. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/115...
I love the blue on the elytra - nice spotting, Martin.
Super colours.
A lovely one, Martin! You are finding plenty of leaf beetles lately.
