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.

DeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteI had a good look and this came up several times. What do you think it could be then?
DeleteMuy entusiasmado baja por el tronco del árbol.

Glad you like them. Thanks :-D
