Its a Chrysolina americana or Rosemary leaf beetle
The colours where incredible - real metallic shine - looked like a tiny hot rod 8)
Never seen one before.
Love nature
Nice pics, now show me some weevils. 🙂
Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
I should add - not my pics - but are markedly better than the photos i took 😆
@ SR - Yes they are lovely little bugs 😀
they are very pretty
Not good for lavender or rosemary though!
Had this visitor in my garden a couple of weekends ago. We get them every year, but he seems to be about a month earlier than normal...

EDIT: Yes, yes, fence needs staining... etc etc...

You know what happens next.
Still need a like button for the original photo's (whether there the OP's or not) and Verses & Aracer's 😀
I'd never noticed them until last year. Lots on our lavender. As above, not good for them. Don't run fast so easy to catch and make for a satisfying squish........

You need to report him to these people. They may bring him a lady beetle...

Already reported him, I log them on there most years. Never heard anything back though.
