These gorgeous beetles fly low along forest trails, stopping briefly, and occasionally, as here, stopping long enough for a portrait!

He or she is like a shining jewel, a lost brooch perhaps. It is very like those we called Christmas beetles when we were children. A lovely find, well photographed, Laine.
