Oggi vi ripropongo un insetto dal nome non bello e dalle abitudini nocive per la flora.
La Cetoniella (Oxythyrea funesta PODA, 1761) è un insetto della famiglia degli Scarabaeidae, sottofamiglia Cetoniinae.

È un insetto fitofago che non si limita a nutrirsi del polline, ma rode gli organi floreali, risultando molto dannoso per l’agricoltura. Danneggia i fiori e boccioli in prevalenza di colore chiaro.

A well composed frame as well :)

Hello Silvio !
This is a wonderful picture ! The bug is beautiful, and you captured many details. I also like the vivid colors, the composition, the POV, the blurred BG and the pose of the insect. Really nice to watch during the grey rainy days we have here in France. Very well done !

Hello Silvio,

Ciao Silvio,
questa ti è venuta davvero bene!
Sei riuscito a controllare i riflessi e la punteggiatura su elitre e pronoto è perfettamente visibile.
Bella anche la composizione.

Hello Silvio,
Beautiful composition of this beetle on the flowers.
The beetle is sharp and interesting. I like the softness and warm colors of the BG also. TFS

Hello Silvio,
Excellent sharp macro of this species of Flower Beetle contrasting beautifully against the yellow flowers and natural OOF BG. Great POV too.
Thanks for sharing this fine image,
Ciao,
Ivan

Anything that is harmful to the plant as you say, is no friend of mine Silvio! Your poor yellow suffers from the beast. Shoot it twice...first time with camera! Very nice image and interesting notes for a change..I like it sir!
Bob

Ciao Silvio,

perfect sharpness, vivid colour and details
well done
ciao
