Absolutely a joy to read and enjoy your photos. What amazing creatures we share the planet with, if we only have the mind to search and the eyes to see. You speak the truth.

Thanks very much! Yes, our fellow creatures on earth are amazing and wonderful, and people rarely see most of them...

This is a lovely post. I'm far from being able to call myself an entomologist, but I love learning about, and searching for, insects and i can relate to a lot of what you say. The metallic leaf beetle is beautiful!

Thank you! Yes, that beetle was amazing. It's like a giant version of the shiny little 'flea beetles' (Alticinae) we have in temperate climates, though not closely related.
