Scarlet Lili Beetle "Lilioceris lilii"

Scarlet Lili Beetle "Lilioceris lilii"
These beetles are very destructive in the garden to certain plants. They really like munching away on any Lily they find, but these two were happy mating on the leaf of a Fritillaria in our garden...

They are Herbivore's, but I wouldn't fancy facing her if I was a small insect!

This isn't as sharp as I'd hoped for. As soon as I appeared with the camera, the breeze kicked in again, causing the slight softness to parts of the image.

, Keith Burton have particularly liked this photo

Nothing like a bit of bug porn! I really like this mate.........superbly composed with a lovely background. The focus on the nsect in front (underneath) is spot-on where it needs to be and it doesn't matter that the other on in oof......in fact I like it as it is. Always difficult to get decent macro stuff in breezy conditions :)
