Blue LED Stripe, Pt. 3 - _TNY_1337
Crepidodera fulvicornis is a kind of willow flea beetle that can vary a bit in colour. The shine on this one happens to look like it has a blue stripe on the edge of the carapace - kind of neat really.
They're quite small, about 2. 5 mm/. 1" in length which was why I couldn't get closer than this as the lens combo I had on the camera at the time gets me to about 2.6:1 magnification at most.

I have a(n old) shot of another Crepidodera species which is more colourful here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/18688951216/
