Well done Liam, jewel beetles have been rather scare so far this season, primarily due to the lower than average temperatures. Incidentally, was wondering why you quite often involve your hands in your photos?

Hi Stuart,
Often just to hold the branch still, or sometimes to get the camera focused (it’s can be a pain).
