[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Chrysolina walking on a green plant like she is in a circus on a tightrope walking.It is a very large and diverse genus of leaf-beetles. Most species are
distributed in Europe, Asia and Africa. A small number of species inhabits
N. America (including introduced European ones). Some species were introduced
into Australia.
Tightrope walking (or funambulism) is the art of walking along a thin wire or rope usually at a great height. One or more artists perform in front of an audience (a common act in circuses in this case in front of the camera of an annoying person) or as a publicity stunt (often attempting to set location-specific distance or height records). Tightrope walkers sometimes use balancing poles and may perform the feat without a safety net (or a spider web :) )for effect.
I believe this is Chrysolina polita, but I'm not so sure, so any opinion is welcome!

Buna Andreea,
Foarte frumoasa fotografia si mai ales animalul.
Imi place mult mai ales modul in care ai folosit diafragma.
Cu bine,
Iulian
