Beetling along
We had some bright sunshine today, for a while, which was pleasant after so much rain.
When I was out in the front garden, I noticed this little chap. At first, I thought it was a piece of coloured glass, glinting in the bright sun, but then it moved and started beetling along, quite rapidly for such a little thing.
Trying to identify it later, I decided it must have been a rose chafer, but it’s not supposed to be around until May, poor, confused creature.
It was a
perfect little jewel on legs.
It's a lovely colour isn't it.
ReplyDeleteThe weather was so much better today, many areas of the UK had strong winds and rain yesterday ... even snow!
All the best Jan
It was bright with a sharp wind, but it was so good to see the sun.
DeleteA rose chafer doesn't sound good for roses, unless they eat thrip.
ReplyDeleteThey do eat roses, but most of our roses are in the back garden. Of course, there's nothing to stop it travelling to the back garden.
DeleteI just thought it was so beautiful.
HeHe! And...looking at the state of it....
ReplyDelete"It's been a hard day's night"...! :o).

He was lucky not be trodden on by mistake.
DeleteWhat a beautiful creature, although it will probably wreak havoc among your roses! xxx
ReplyDeleteProbably, but most of our roses are in the back garden. Anyway, every thing has its place in the world. x x x
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteHe really was just like a jewel.
DeleteHe has a beautiful iridescent coat.
ReplyDeleteSomething that lovely can't do too much harm - well, in my dreams;-)
