Little Devil

It is amazing how small your world can get at times. Still hanging out at home so the back yard is half of my world right now. And I admit it. Too many flower shots - but too soon they will be gone. I was looking around and found this little beetle which I thought was very cute - until I got this photo on the computer and see that he is eating my rose! How dare he?

Ah yes little chaw marks out of the edge of the petal. What is the white bit? That is a seriously beautiful rose.

[Henri Russell]

Beautiful capture.

[Vee]

Haha! The nerve of him (I meant).

[Cathy Donohoue]

@lwain the white bit is where he has chewed through my seriously beautiful rose. At least now I know where the holes are coming from.
@henrir thanks Henri.
@vskolnik Quite a bit of nerve!

[Maggiemae]

He is making a window in it so he can see who is climbing up to fight with him for rose rights!

[Robin]

Haha, yes, he's munching away, for sure! Great capture.

[Yvonne]

Fabulous capture. He has definitely been busy ; )

[Catherine W.]

Guess he's enjoying himself there. Great macro!

[karenann]

Sometimes the tiniest things are the most beautiful ...wonderful colors and clarity. But, I agree. He doesn't have to "eat" your gorgeous flower!

[Phil]

Oh dear... caught in the act. He's so small he probably thought nobody could see! Wonderful colours & catch

[Vicki Dixon]

tucked away almost...cute little find there

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Wow, he is one smart little fellow!

[Dione Giorgio]

Hiding from the rest of thw world, is he? Beautiful shot and colours.

[Dawn Wilson]

You can never have enough flowers! Nice find :)

[elkehochban]

Awesome ! You're so right about the flowers being gone soon, so let's enjoy them while we can! Hope your recovery is going well.

[Sean O'Neill]

Too right, flowers will soon be something to be bought at the florist. Great shot, naughty beetle!!

[carol white]

Great capture,he was obviously up to no good!!

[Lisa Pouncy]

How rude! Fabulous capture though xx

[aurorajane]

Looks like he is on the run! great capture

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love that he's munching away - and so colourful too.

[Lyn]

Cathy, I've been stomping these little devils in my garden. . .I kept finding them burrowed down into the rose buds having left destruction behind. I wish I had your luck with roses!

[sarra]

i reaaaally like this one!!!stunning !!!

[Nada A.]

Great capture to find him so hidden in there. I love the layers of petals.

[Junan Heath]

Gorgeous shot! Wonderful pov! Great colors & dots on the beetle. Fav

[Pam]

It looks like he took quite a bite out of that rose. I like its color against the rose. Fantastic macro, Cathy

How dare he munch away on your beautiful rose!
