Rosemary Beetle Chrysolina americana

Last year one frame had the tip of the abdomen of, what I now recognise as, a Rosemary beetle. It was protruding from some crowded leaf bases of lavender.
This year I have been searching for it, on sunny days, on our two rosemary plants. On the latest occasion, I had just given up when I saw the familiar rear end, in much the same situation as last year, on our lavender. I detached the sprig of foliage and sat at our garden bench to do this in comfort. Oh, joy!
I later learned that they like lavender, as well as rosemary.

Thanks, Brian.
I haven't seen it again.

I had it specially made by Fabergé.
