beetle

I found this beetle today and loved his colours, shades of green and brown depending on the light. It looks like some kind of ground beetle, but I have no idea exactly what kind.

looks familiar, but I really don't know. He looks like he's communing with the rock.

He is beautiful. I like the empty space around him--gives one an idea of how big the world must seem to him.
