Hello Alexei,
an excellently focused and sharp picture of this beetle with great depth of field (f/32).
The species shown is Tropinota hirta from the Scarabaeidae subfamily Cetoniinae.
Dietrich Meyer "meyerd' has recently shown a picture of the same species from Switzerland.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Alexei,
Beautiful Cetonidae, with a very beautiful light. It can be a Tropina because of the hairs, maybe hirta? See here some photos... Best regards,

Hello Alexei,
I just have seen the same beetle on a picture from Dieter Meyer. Nice to see both on two different flowers of beautiful colour. Very pleasant presentation and wonderful color-combination brown-purple. Beautiful light which shows every single hair of this special beetle.
It would be nice if you could adjust your note, so it will be easier to find in the TN archives.
Thanks and kindest regards

ciao Alexei!
excellent control of light and beautiful details in this composition with the
Tropinota hirta ,an insect really difficult, but the result that you got with the help of the purple background , is really surprising ... but, you use the same Micro that I use?

Hola Alexei,

no es fácil plasmar a este insecto en esa pose ya que casi siempre están comiendo en posturas muy dificultosas y escondiendo la cabeza.
Buena luz, fondo y composición.

Despite the bug in the picture being a pest, its presence in your garden declares the welcome arrival of spring, Alexei.
(Here in India, we are now reeling under sweltering heat!)
The hairy insect has been very well captured on a purple flower.
This kind of a sharp and crisp macro is among many of your specialities and it is truly wonderful.
Thanks for sharing it and best regards.
