User's notes

This colourful beetle, estimated 25-30mm long, was sitting on the edge of the garden bag full of lemon-balm and sage prunings, and I only saw him/her when about to empty the bag, so not sure if he/she had been in those plants, or just arrived from this other part of the garden. He/she flew off making a small humming or buzzing noise.
