Malachite beetle. This nice green-blue beetle, with two red spots on the bottom of the wings, can be seen on the flowers.

Malachie à deux points. Ce joli coléoptère vert-bleu, avec deux taches rouges sur le bas des ailes, se rencontre sur les fleurs.

Hello Catherine,
A superb macro of this Malachite Beetle taken from a great POV with excellent sharpness and DOF that show its features well, especially as this beetle is only 1cm long.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hello Catherine,
profesionally controlled exposure considering the white petals and the metallic dark coloured beetle.
The excellent sharpness makes visible fine details.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Catherine.
Once more superb close-up with ultimate sharpness and details of an impressive beetle and fine flower. Diagonal composition, framing of the scene are wonderful. Only white balance is not correct it seems to me (because the petal is not white). It can correct by RAW-converter. However, it is not a point. Shot is great. TFS and best regards.

merci pour le partage

Hello Catherine,

Belle image. Le problème est que les couleurs originales ne sont pas restituées. La fleur est blanche et le scarabée vert. J'ai posté un workshop pour ajuster les niveaux.
