Google tells me this is an Alder Leaf Beetle. We saw it at Alton Towers last year and I had never seen it before. It love how the raindrop look on it.

ReplyDeleteI am at a disadvantage when it comes to identifying European beetles, but I am not convinced that this is an Alder Leaf Beetle, which is still quite rare in Britain. I am always suspicious of internet sources and always choose a good textbook by a reputable expert before making the call. Was there any sign of leaf damage on nearby alder trees?
ReplyDeleteMuy entusiasmado baja por el tronco del árbol.
ReplyDeleteMuy buenas capturas. Un abrazo.
Very nice
