wild raspberries from the forest, so sweet and tasty !
Cetonia aurata, known as the rose chafer, also knows that.
Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

@photowannabe: Good morning, Sue! I think, these sweet raspberries are almost as good as your peaches. Thank you for stopping by such a long journey :)

Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
WOW.........what a wonderful macro this is, and I hope the beetle didn't eat too many!

@Judy: This one was very thoughtful, he/she simulates dead, when I took him/her to my hand, but when I was moving a berry, he/she realized, that it was better to react and soon :)
Liisa from Finland
Sharing is always a joy. :) This insect is like a gold brooch.

@Susan: You are right, this beetle hardly tastes good even his/her look is so golden :)
deslilas from radonvilliers, France
We've just picked "framboises" in our French Alpes, it was the beginning and they were very tasty.

@deslilas: How was your summer? Are all visitors already at their homes ? I believe, that your berries are tasty too or at least almost as tasty as ours here :)
dj.tigersprout from New York City, United States

Hei Leena!
Kaunista valokuvaa!
Tulin tiistaina kotiin lomalta. Nyt valitsen kuvia photoblogia varten. Se oli todella kaunis! Vierailimme Italiassa Venetsiaa ja Itavallassa Wien+Salzburg. Meilla oli myos aurinkoisia paivia meren rannalla Italiassa.
Halauksia, Oana

@oana: Hauska kuulla, että matkanne meni hyvin, Oana! Odottelen kuviasi innolla! Olen käynyt Venetsiassa ja Wienissä, molemmat upeita paikkoja!

I wouldn't like to see that bug on the raspberries....BUT...the image is amazingly beautiful! The fruit is appetizing in colours and the bug is dressed in glimmering armour! The contrast is most artistic! A great capture, Leena!
