beetle colors
I looked if it was still alive, because it did not move.
I was n't.
I accidentally turned it over.
Beautiful shimmering shiny purples and blues on his belly and legs...so surprising all these colours!,
while his shield on the top-side was just dark greyish black.

Catterpillar, Buff-tip
Today I saw a caterpillar running over the path.
I picked it up, to see what brand it was.
I thought I had found it years before...(2008, see my post here),and here, so I remembered the name of this caterpillar.
It was probably on its way to cocoon.
They find a little hole in the ground to pupate
It is a (Phalera Bucephala), (Buff-tip),(Wapendrager).
The butterfly looks like a piece of a broken twig of a silver birch.
