Is it still alive? It looks a like damaged. Beautiful beetle though and a nice capture, George.

Sadly, it's an ex-beetle, Edna. The numbers of these seem to have dropped in recent years and this was the only one I'd seen this summer. So excitement got the better of me.

That's what I was afraid of. Not sleeping and not a Norwegian blue pining for the fjords!!
Oh well, at least you got a souvenir photo of him/her/it before the funeral ;-)

Hi George
I like this picture very much!
It is a very unusual and interesting composition, and an animal I have never seen or heard of before!
Very nice colours too
Best Wishes, and stay safe!!
Peter
