Description
Cetonia aurata on Hydrangea paniculata.
They are quite shy and hide their heads in the petals when they see you, but I got a few shots with the flash, which I rarely use.
I know it's not sharp, but it serves to show what an amazing construction these beetles have.

Amazing image Andrea. I've never seen such a bug. His construction truly is well worth studying.

He looks a little intimidating scary looking bug great capture.

Great close up If he had a shiny back instead of a bumpy one he would look like a June bug to me Hugs Susan~

Aren't bugs amazing?

Wow, they really are interesting, almost like a little insect turtle with a hairy body inside its shell! Wonderful shot!

Take a bow! A true mini beast is revealed to us all. Aren't you glad they are small? They would be terrifying the size of a small dog, with such armour as well. Superb Macro work!
alanwilliams
an armour plated man of war it would seem, fascinating shot.

Lots of nice contrast in this shot of the shy, handsome, little fellow, A.
