The Culprit

This one is for Marie-Helene Raletz, who remarked that one of my pics had had visitors!
This is the visitor, caught in the act of demolishing a hibiscus.
It is only a very young one. They can grow to about 8 inches long, then it's
a matter of devouring plants, not just making these holes .........

cette sauterelle s'est choisi une très beau support.
C'est une superbe photo.

Ah, here is the culprit then!
... You caught him red-handed :)
A delightful jewel-insect, whose beautiful green is perfectly set off against the vibrant colours of the flower.
