Take the Red Pill - _TNY_9575S3
For a couple of weeks this summer, every time I came home from work (ie middle of the night), I found several of these guys hanging out on window stool.
It is, rather unimaginatively, called the brown chafer (Serica brunnea) which really doesn't do the wonderful red colour justice.
One thing that was a bit tricky about shooting them is that while they sat completely still when I closed in, but just when I got close enough for what I thought was a good framing, they twitched and pulled in theirr antennae and legs a bit. This happened over and over, but eventually I managed some working shots.
