Rosemary Leaf Beetle

These guys are beautiful and they are appropriately named as they are scoffing all my rosemary and thyme in the garden!

Never heard of this beetle not sure we have them here! His colours are so beautiful and I like your comp.

@paulaw I had never noticed them before Paula, but I bought a new rosemary plant (to replace the old one which had gone to wood and was an eyesore); it is covered with them. They are eating all the fresh green shoots. I hesitate to get rid of them as they are very pretty, BUT ...

Oh dear, they are so pretty though.....love the negative space here, It really shows those gorgeous colours off! :)

lovely capture, the beetles colours stand out so well against the background of green.

Despite this being a picture of a pest, it's a lovely image, composed so nicely, with perfect focus on the colorful muncher.
