Wow this is a GREAT shot!

Don the colors in the photo are

outstanding. Did you alter or add

anything to this shot? What a

beetle. I have a bud that looks

very much like your beetle that

I find on my roses. Thank you for

sharing and composing such a

colorful and interesting picture.

Thanks everyone! We seem to be infested with beetles this year. There are thousands of Japanese beetles here, and a bunch of these guys. I have no idea what they are. Hope to find out and will post if I do. Thanks again. don

WOW!! what a neat shot,its a new one to me.

Very fashionably colored insect with the matching flower color! Beautiful image.

Nice capture of the beetle, what a shiny head. Great closeup.
