Golden Leaf Beetle
As a unique beetle, I tried to get some shots while it was enjoying its food and sometimes it moved quickly that made me wait for a couple minutes to get the whole appearance of this beetle. It is considered a common insect that lives in rotten mushroom, and occasionally seen around the bush but their appearance often tempted me to take shots. It stayed a bit calm on the leaf even it did not notice me coming but when I started playing with some clicks, and it was trying to hide from my sight which made me unable to capture its face. Anyway, I got its body shots and that is fine as long as I can admire this creature that always attract me with its shiny appearance. I just found it this afternoon on the leaf when I had a short walk around bush. When I noticed it did not make a lot of moves, I decided to take some macro photos before heading back home.

These photos of the Golden Leaf Beetle are amazing. It looked exactly like a tiny moving jewel. Light bounced right off it every time. The close-up shots blew up its delicate legs and antennae. You could see every small part so clearly. Nature really makes the best treasures.
