[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A bug (some sort of beetle I think) spotted in Mackay botanical garden. Lots of them around, but mainly quite camera-shy.

This was taken with on-camera flash because of shading plants which may account for the hot spots that I haven't been able to tone down.

The bug is (was) about 10-12 mm in length and the colours of others ranged from this orange with blue spots to almost totally (metallic) blue. Colouration and variety I found fascinating since I had never seen their like before, although they appeared quite common there.

Nice picture, sharp enough and a great composition. It IS a bug (meaning a True Bug, of the order Hemiptera adn not a beetle (order Coleoptera). Can't help further for the ID...
Good job

A beautiful little bug Norman,although I've no idea what it is.You've captured it nicely too. I like the POV in particular.
When I do macros of little bugs like this I use spot mode on my digital.It seems to give me a clearer shot.
A nice image. Well done.
