Magnificent colours with the "rainbow" beetle against the marigold. Lovely capture.
That Japanese beetle is a very handsome fellow but I'm guessing he's an illegal immigrant? Is he loved or loathed in the garden?
Lots of shine in that beetle. Nicely caught with that marigold as a background.
Gorgeous!
Beautiful shot of the beetle and the flower!
what you should have said is : "water droplet on beetle on flower" ! Beautiful shot !
Beautiful capture!
Lovely shot!
Love this shot! Bright flower and lovely iridescent bug makes for a perfect combination.
What a beautiful shot. The colors in the beetle as well as the flower are stunning!
This is just fab!
Incredible photo!
What an amazing contrast! This shot is just wonderful.
Hi Bill! Enjoyed looking at all the eye candy you've been posting. The flowers are delicious! Not so this beetle... had one just like it flying around me yesterday, and it gave me the willies! LOL!
