Rosenkäfer / (green) rose chafer

Rosenkäfer / (green) rose chafer
They especially love my candytufts, they do not make much damage...

The rose chafer is a protected species in some European countries.
The rose chafer can be best protected by a sustainable agriculture and ecological gardening. The best thing you can do for them is to have a compost heap in your garden !

After reading I see they feed on pollen and nectar.
Great photos.

Irene - such beautiful, emerald little creatures.
You have captured them wonderfully well, and they make great subjects but I worry for your flowers !
