    Loving the composition, really appealing. The colours on this little guy are beautiful. The water droplets are also a nice touch to compliment the scenario.
    I have a similar alder leaf beetle - they make holes in the leaves of the alder tree in the back garden, apparently once almost extinct in UK but now have made quite a come back - especially in my garden!

    Lovely image with great composition. Insect well placed on the leaf. Great colors, with the iridescent colors on the insect stand out nicely. the image is sharp all around.
