Hello!!
I didn't find it on the allotment - I found it in my hair back at home after visiting the allotment! These things get everywhere 😀
What a pretty looking beetle!
He looks quite pleased to have made a new friend. Where did you put him?
ReplyDeleteWe put him out the window. I'm sure he'll find a stinging nettle somewhere closeby..
DeleteHe looks like he is smiling in your first photo. Beautiful colour and pattern on this insect.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know! I do like an insect that poses for a photo 🙂
