You Got Any Wine? - _TNY_2048

This quite small (5 mm / .2") beetle is one of the sap-beetles, a species known as Glischrochilus hortensis.

 

These are drawn to ripening fruit and as a result, if you like we were, sit on the patio with a bottle of wine on the table, they can notice the smell of that as well and close in.

 

This particular one was walking across the white upholstery of a chair when I trained my camera on it.
