A little while ago I posted some photos under the title of iridescence. They featured Lady Rosemary Leaf-Beetle. She was on my lavender! However, true to her name she migrated onto my rosemary. Lucky for me it was a sunny day making her all the more beautiful after her long trip from the lavender to the rosemary!
I couldn’t decide which photos to include so, dagnabbit, I’m putting loads of them into my Macro Monday offering!
Not so iridescent upside down eh Lady Rosemary!
Still lovely to me upside down though!
I did get the impression she wanted to get away a few times….
She wouldn’t fly for me though, preferring to just fall off the leaf!!
Dot knows! (elleturner4) 
I love all the pretty details…especially the intricate stripes!
I just love the colours and patterns. It’s a shame that these beetles will destroy my Rosemary!! Thanks 🙂
She’s an active little critter, Lizzie ! – and a good-looker, too ! 🙂
In the 8th frame, she seems to be leaving some kind of … beetle-web ! Can you contribute anyfink to that supposition, me old ?
