One day, while watering my flowers I discovered this tiny beetle. It reminded me of a june bug but it was really little. No clue what he is, but I thank him for posing.
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. 
MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!
PS – I apologize for the delay in posting, I somehow put the wrong date on it when I prepared it last night. 
Sorry.

I don’t know what it is either; it looks like its wings haven’t grown in all the way. The beetle is the star, but the flowers are beautiful too.

Mr Linky is messing with me
It loaded my link twice! I’m now #82 & #83. Perhaps you can delete one of the entries for me. Thanks.

Yuck, I think you found a nasty little Japanese beetle, although I have to admit his colors are gorgeous.
