This is a pregnant green dock beetle. Green dock beetles look really cool. They are iridescent!
About Me
- Ananka
- I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)
You sure find lots of interesting and pretty critters!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terrry. I really like little bugs! :-D

ReplyDeleteHaha yes Tom 99.99% In fairness, I didn't do a pee test on her though!!!
