A beautiful flower beetle

Lord Vetinari

Spotted this amazingly coloured male flower beetle - Oedemera nobilis - the other day but only managed one shot sequence on my hand before it was off. Not seen one quite this colour scheme before. Normally the males are a metallic turquoisy green colour. Focus stacked using zerene.
