Hello Roland
Interesting capture of this strange beetle
the shot is very beautiful with great sharply details
superb colors too

Good picture of an unusual insect. You might have kept a little bit less of the bg with a different, more creative composition, but on the opther hand , the striated stone is visually attractive.
It is a Jewel beetle (family buprestidae) probbaly genus Julodis, but there are many species...
