Sometimes They Come to You - _TNY_0696

So I was out near my fav spot at Åva-Stensjödal chasing bugs and decided it was time for a coffee break and put the camera on a tree stump and myself on the one right next to it.

 

After pouring my coffee I noticed I had a small visitor, right next to the camera.

 

This metallic little (~8 mm) friend is a Donacia brevitarsis, one of the reed beetles and shooting it was really comfortable with it being like 60 cm off the ground near the edge of a flat surface. More shots of the same guy to follow.
