[Photos] Garden macros - Anoplognathus sp.

[moonvoice]

It's that time of year again. Actually it's just past that time of year again. But it's the time of year when all the jewel/Christmas beetles come out! I love these Anoplognathus and we had a really bad year for them last year, so I worried that something about my garden (or the weather) was killing them off. But this year they came back with a vengeance, and there's just been heaps of them. :D







And procreating to make a ton of new baby Anoplognathus!









Despite their brightness up close, they actually camouflage really well.
