Beetle

Trigonopeltastes delta (Förster)
(Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae, Trichiini)

Another 900mm 2x teleconverter shot.

There was a tree and brush line along a gravel road where I stopped --trying to get a shot of a Cardinal. The plants were full of life: dragon flies, beetles, horse flies, different kinds of wasps, bees, and butterflies.
