Leaf Beetles – my favourite. I look forward every year to photographing these beetles, they’re like mini jewels. They also hang out on one of my favourite plants at this time of year, docks – I know at first glance not much to look and only good for nettle stings but wonderful backdrops for insects and the most beautiful colours. So… leaf beetles on dock leaves, whats not to love!

Beetles are so fascinating, and so jewel-like as you wrote. I love the antennas (antennae?) on this one. I see heart shapes there.
Happy weekend…hoping the sun shine reaches out to you.
