Description
Cotinis Mutabilis- Green Fruit Beetle.
There are a lot of these around here this time of year. Found this one on the shrub in the back. Something's wrong with one of it's wings, it couldn't fly. But that was a good opportunity for some photos.
No close up filters as they are so big. Just the 50mm.
Thanks for taking a look.
