Beetle

it was hard to capture as it persisted in running around.

Nice image, the insect world is quite fascinating

@ianjb21 Thanks Ian, I rather liked this one with its spots, hope it is not a garden pest

[Margaret Snell]

@happysnaps I know what you mean Valerie I was trying to get it in focus while following it round, I managed to get this before it disappeared

[Ian JB]

@oldjosh looks alittle like a boll weevil

@ianjb21 Boll weevils like cotton plant and there are one of those in my garden, it is a vine weevils and I don't have vines. I thought the late frost had killed off the leaves on my currant bushes but apparently these beasties attack fruit bushes.
