Emeralds on the Alder - _TNY_1444

This glittering little gem is a leaf beetle known as Plagiosterna aenea (no common English name).

 

It, along with a bunch of buddies, were hanging out on the leaves of a small alder tree - their host plant - at Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park south of Stockholm, Sweden on a very brief visit yesterday.
