Thanks Sylvia – i was actually taking pictures of some really lovely purple berries (still to upload) and in flew this beetle. I just couldn’t believe it!

Awesome. Love it.
Michelle Legg replied
Thanks AK. I went for a walk yesterday – to get some quiet time with the macro lens – and had a ball. This is one of the shots that I captured whilst I was taking pictures of something else.

Again the detail is increadable, looks like velvet on those wings…......great colours too!
Michelle Legg replied
Thanks Glenn. I tried to get a proper id last night but the site I usually go to as a reference was down :(
I couldn’t get over how hairy this one was either – especially when I took two shots of other beetles that were half the size of this one and not at all hairy!

very lovely! Love the detail! They are so cute!
Michelle Legg replied
Thanks Maria. I’ve finally id’d the beetle and it appears that it can be classed as a pest – but I agree – it’s cute!
