A green bottle sawfly on a white flower. It has red eyes and an iridescent green body. It may be common and often an irritant but it’s still amazing to look at.

#insect #macro #beetle #green #photography
Oedemera nobilis, also known as the false oil beetle, thick-legged flower beetle or swollen-thighed beetle. A green beetle on a flower, its rear legs are unusual as they have very prominent bulges, as if it had body builder-level musculature. A second, unknown beetle is also on the flower but not in focus.
