Pyrochroa serrticornis!

Not to be confused with the Lily beetle who has a black head, not red like this little fella.
He is a subspecies of the Cardinal beetle.

He gave me the run around flying all over the garden, till he landed on 1 blade of grass.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
