bug colony

Postscript: I have since found out that these are evidently Jewel Bugs (Lampromicra senator).

I came upon a huge carpet of these insects on the ground, presumably an orgy of sorts. That was a few years ago and I haven't seen them since.

Fascinating image with these vivid colors and shiny textures and to see them like this.

Fantastic teeming nest of color. Beneficial or destructive bugs, I guess it depends on whose perspective... definitely beneficial to the eye!

an amazing collection - prettier than the ant-blackfy combo in similar densities trying to destroy our new trees
