Description
I found this when I was stacking the woodpile: a new species for me and therefore very exciting!
It was a most unco-operative poser, playng dead if touched! about 1/4", 6mm in length.

Stunning capture Andrea. God Bless.
What a cool looking bug awesome capture.
So bright and shiney, a most exciting discovery!
Beautiful thing, almost like a jewel!
A super shiney beetle and wonderful wood textures.
Beautiful beetle and your shot is superb. Fantastic details and colours.
Don't you hate those stubborn models? A beauty, though.
A really beautiful shiny little fellow :)
This is an splendid performance by you. I thank for it. 5+!
Unusual little fella!!
Probably thinks its a scarab and too good for us commoners. Excellent shot though. Interesting pattern on the shell.
Wonderful looking little critter. Awesome image Andrea.
Excellent shot! :)
MARVELOUS BUG!
Awesome catch of this beetle finding his way around his new digs.
I suspect we have these people in Chicago as well; the ones here like damp, woody places (and truck yards) and I suspect that the word "cooperation" does not exist in any way in their native vocabulary. They're rather fine specimens of uncooperative attitudes, at least when they're not cooperating with a photographer interested in capturing them. You did a great job with this one. I rather like the shape of this little person, a bit like the ancient Egyptian god, Khepera, but Khepera was a dung beetle, and from what I hear, they are more cooperative, since their divine lineage endows them with just enough vanity to appreciate the presence of a camera lens. Okay...now that I've rambled (I tend to do that!) I'm going to simply sit back and enjoy this marvel of beetle-ness. I love the red legs!
never seen one of those before! Very cool image, thanks for sharing!
Stellar macro of this most impeccable beetle atop the cool texture, Andrea.
Looks like someone has been at him with the Mr Sheen :}
He looks rather cute with his shiny back but not so good that he is able to make a mess of the trees. An excellent capture.
very interesting character Andrea. I was actually thinking 'Dung Beetle' at first. her red legs also caught my eye!
cool !
Great capture never saw a bug like this one before or maybe but never noticed Hugs Susan~
