Charly says June 1, 2017 at 4:10 pm @ Ice Swimmer, this one is not so minuscule. It is almost 3 cm big, so I guess it is huge by beetle standards. These are fierce predators, they prawl the grass jungle (mostly in the night) and devour prey even bigger than themselves.
Goodness, Charly -- those headshots ♥ ♥ ♥!!!

What a sparkling gem that is!
Beauty of the minuscule green gold beetle.
