U are welcome
Amazing metallic colors. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
the violet one could be a Chrysolina coerulans
the green one is a leaf beetle - Gastrophysa viridula
has anyone an idea , what kind of species the 2 shiny bugs are?
I only saw the spider after the shooting. Boy, was I surprised! :)
