You Got Any Whine, Pt. 3 - _TNY_2074
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.
I found it on the white upholstery of a chair, but for some variation, I placed it on a flower on the table for this shot.
