Gouden tor / Cetonia aurata
Cetonia aurata, known as the rose chafer, or more rarely as the green rose chafer, is a beetle, 20 mm (¾ in) long, that has metallic green colouration (but can be bronze, copper, violet, blue/black or grey) with a distinct V shaped scutellum, the small triangular area between the wing cases just below the thorax, and having several other irregular small white lines and marks. The underside is a coppery colour.
The spotted longhorn beetles (Rutpela maculata, in German: "Gefleckter Schmalbock") have a striking yellow and black pattern. With this wasp coloring, they hope to be eaten less often by birds.
The photo was taken on my first photo walk with a new Nikon Z 9 and the 105mm Micro-Nikkor. It was my goal to familiarize myself with the possibilities of the autofocus system. The automatic eye recognition is fine, but it does not work with insects. So I used the 3D tracking method which keeps the focus on an initially marked image element as it moves through the image area. In this case I set the focus on the beetle's head and it worked very well. Almost all photos had a correct focus setting with recognizable facets in the beetle's eye - not a matter of course for a small beetle of a size of about 15mm.

During Covid-19 stay-at-home conditions, a parking lot at a medical office building that would normally be nearly full was quite open. Perhaps the situation inspired folks to bring out their cars they wouldn't normally risk such as this VW Beetle.
The yellow plates are those that were in use in California from 1956-1962. California does have a Year of Manufacture (YOM) plate program in which a matching pair of previously superseded plates can be used if they coincide with the model year of the vehicle.
The rear license plate had a red renewal sticker which would indicate either 1957 or 1961. As this one had a small backlite, it would seem to indicate a 1957 model.
To protect the privacy of the owner, the letters and numerals on this plate have been completely rearranged.

I've been down with a cold for the past week & am so behind on sharing photos. I got out briefly today (June 11, 2022) for a visit to local Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, New York, USA & was delighted to see this two-inch Click Beetle, only the second I've ever seen. So big!
Second photo of this beautiful Beetle, and the last photo before I go to Austria tomorrow!
Hope you like it!
Carrion beetle, (family Silphidae), any of a group of beetles (insect order Coleoptera), most of which feed on the bodies of dead and decaying animals, thus playing a major role as decomposers. A few live in beehives as scavengers, and some eyeless ones live in caves and feed on bat droppings. Carrion beetles range in size from minute to 35 mm (1.4 inches), averaging around 12 mm (0.5 inch). Many have bright orange, yellow, or red markings on a dark background, while others are completely black. The flat, flexible body and wings allow these insects to crawl under dead animals. The long, flat larvae that emerge from eggs deposited in carrion have a triangular point at each tapering end. After they emerge from the eggs, the larvae feed for the first few days on a brown liquid regurgitated by the parents.
Because some carrion beetles dig the ground out from under a small carcass, such as that of a mouse or small bird, and bury it, they are also known as burying beetles.

Beetles are a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera, in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings is hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects.

I'm back from my vacation in Austria, had a great time there! Before I upload some pictures from Austria, I want to share a last photo of this Beetle. I hope you like it!
(245/365) There are dozens of these small bugs mating & munching their way through our Potamogeton natans (Broad-leaved pondweed). They are about 10mm long & the males seem a bit more bronze coloured compared to the females which are more green. They walk across the lily pads but don't seem to eat the them?
I've just uploaded this photo of them mating which shows the colour difference www.flickr.com/photos/juliek1967/20925637478/ Identified as Aquatic Leaf Beetles "Donacia versicolorea" HBBBT!
What a miserable day today! Just over 2 weeks ago I made one of my many visits to my local reserve and had the most successful visit for photos so far this year.
There were no special photos or insects, but quite a lot of insects I really like to see and do not see very often - all of which gave me photos.
This was not a memorable one but still I was pleased to get a decent shot of such a small beetle.
Confirmation (or correction) of ID would be welcome.
These big, cumbersome white-spotted sawyer beetles (Monochamus scutellatus) appear each June, flying slowly and awkwardly, just about head high or lower, often bumping into people and thus getting stuck in hair or clothing. Ick!
They are pretty big, about an inch long with antenna up to three times longer than their bodies.
They lay their eggs on the spruce trees, the hatched larva bore into and eat dead and dying trees.
This image made Explore, #144. Thank you friends!
I found this charming Beetle in Ocean Springs, MS. There was a sign in the front saying: Only one more payment". It looked to be a perfect subject for applying the HDR magic.
A Leaf Beetle (Lamprolina spp. ) spotted on a Sweet Pittosporum bush at Barragga Bay, NSW Far South Coast, Australia. Possibly Lamprolina impressicollis. Body is approx. 10 mm long.

A Green Tiger Beetle from a while back, I'm really going to have to try and get some more shots of these, problem is finding the time to do it. These beauty was a cooperative subject and allowed me to take loads of shots.
This was a focus stack of just 9 images using an F/6.3 aperture, ISO 400 and a 1/160 shutter speed, a diffused flash was used.
Hoping to get my first Damselfly shots on Sunday morning, I've seen a few already, but not managed any shots.
