Because of wind the twig was snapped off and placed on the ground for photographs and the beetle returned to another twig on the same shrub afterwards.

Thanks Michael. What a trooper - obviously keen to improve upon your 50,000 verifications even on Christmas Day. An amazing and incredibly valuable effort. Merry Christmas, Warren
