What a pretty shiny beetle this one is.

Superb macro work Stanley - very well done my friend.

I remember cucumber beetles from the garden on the farm, but they didn't look quite like this one. I think they were a yellowish green all over, some with narrow lengthwise stripes and some spotted. Pretty things, but not welcome garden guests :eek!:
