[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this is a small insect of the Chrysomelidae family, it looks a little like a common ladybug but it's longer and has only 4 dots, 2 small and 2 large ones.

Common name (in french) is Clytre du Saule (Willow clytra) or Clytre lustrée.

It lives mostly in wet places (not only on willows). I actually found this one hanging on a weed in a grass meadow in Vincennes woods, the place didn't look that wet.

It's the only one i've seen around, so i wonder if this species is common or not.

Thanks for your comments.

Salut Jerome,
Très belle prise de cet insecte qui ressemble à une coccinelle.
Very sharp derails and beautiful colors.
Great POV to show the underside of the bug.
I like the simple, yet effective composition.

Jerome bonjour, bonne macro avec un insecte bien mis en valeur sur le doux BG et une belle harmonie de teintes. Mes félicitations, Didier.

The contrast between orange and green. Wonderfully sharp.
