Hello everyone, I bring you all greetings from a shiny forest beetle!
(Note: this is a "repost" since a picture was missing in the first post. It was somehow broken...)

This morning when I was hiking with my dog in the forest, I stumbled across this magnificent-looking beetle. At first, he was in a hurry, but after he realized that something is happening he stopped and watched us curiously.

This gave me the opportunity to take a few snapshots of him with my cell phone. He was really patient and it didn't seem to bother him that the weirdo with the big black box was fumbling around right in front of his nose.

After the photo session was over, he resumed doing his beetle things. I suspect he was looking for a place to sleep because they can often be found resting during the day.

I hope you enjoy the photos. If yes, feel free to like and comment 😉
Thanks for your time!
