Gracias Peter (Batu) por tu ayuda en la efectiva identificación. Te debo otra cerveza :-)

Anthaxia hungarica. Scopoli. Buprestidae.
Habita las regiones meridionales de Europa arboladas. Se la suele ver sobre el roble Mediterráneo. Es atraído por las flores amarillas como podéis ver en esta imagen.

Ciao Ignasi,
the small jewel beetle (family: Buprestidae) is shown with pretty good sharpness.
I think that the species is Anthaxia hungarica.
I like the well-repoduced natural colours here.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Ignasi,

Very good composition. Excellent sharpness of this insect. Superb colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

Bellissima macro, ottimo POV, bella la composizione con l'insetto decentrato (personalmente avrei eliminato la parte inferiore dell'immagine soprattutto la zona molto sfocata), eccellente nitidezza, splendidi colori e BG. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Ignasi,
Buprestid beetles are so difficult to photograph, yet you mastered it exceedingly well here: the soft light avoided reflexes, and the various colours become apparent. Wonderful! Thanks for presenting it.
Best regards
Dietrich

A gorgeous beetle and a pin-sharp capture of it too!
Excellent detail showing all the little dimples on its body.
Amazing colours and great lighting to show them off.
Superb DOF that has made the little beetle stand out very well.
Great BG too.
One of your best, Ignasi and straight into my favourites!

Very well done!

Joe

Bonjour Ignasi,
ce petit coléoptère a une coloration de toute grande beauté et que tu as su bien rendre. J'ai regardé sur un site consacré aux coléoptères et j'ai trouvé le même nom que Peter (batu), mais la coloration est légèrement différente.
Une belle journée
Anne
