Rose Chafer Beetle - Cetonia aurata
The jewels off summer. A beautiful metallic golden green beetle seen in the UK from May-September. Adults can often be seen in warm sunny weather obtaining pollen and nectar from Hog weed, Rose flowers, Bramble Gorse and Elderberries. Larvae will feed on rotten wood of old stumps. Photographed in a part of leafy suburban London, who said you can only find the most beautiful looking insects in the tropical rain forest.
