Whilst out for a walk I saw this little chap on the ground. “Oh,” I thought, “an ordinary beetle!”
But on second rather harder looking I saw that he was a rather Extraordinary beetle!!
He is a Violet Ground Beetle. If you look closely you can see they are black with a metallic purple and pink sheen, especially around the flattened edges of its fused wing cases!
That’s All!
See Ya xx
Dot knows! (elleturner4) 
Hmmm…must admit I’d rather study him in your photo than in person Elle! Good catch!
Thank you. Yes I like to take photos but I wouldn’t take one home!!😀
extraordinary, indeed! 🙂
