I don't mention it like I should, but I really do appreciate your kind comments about my photos. This is one strange insect - a flower beetle he's called. Reminds me of a superman cape he's wearing.

Interesting :-) Strong colours without being too saturated. Nice composition.

Look at those long back legs! Beautiful shot, and I love the vivid greens.

Beautiful close up of him, Milanie! He's beautiful too. Is he good for the garden or an unwelcome visitor?

@dulciknit from what I've read in my new insect book (I never thought I'd have one of them!) it doesn't seem to be much of a pest - said it was quite flighty so I guess I was lucky to catch this shot. Loves Queen Anne's Lace and other pollen sources. Not sure why he was here!

@milaniet thank you, Milanie. :-)
I think the publishers of wildlife identifiaction books have a lot to thank 365 for. Every so often someone mentions that they've gone out and bought one as a result of taking photos to post!

Maybe he was trying out a new restaurant? ;-)
