Red Lily Beetle

[Annie]

I've never seen one of these before in person. I was a bit happy to see it as it meant I could get the camera out ... yet a bit annoyed.. it was on my lily plant in the garden.

I photographed it, then removed and re-homed it away from my garden and lily plant LOL

Taken using a cheapy 100mm macro lens and a fiver's worth of extension tubes.

Lovely shot..........the red of the beetle really works against the background. Great composition as well
