Green Immigrant Leaf Weevil - Polydrusus sericeus. I see these every year and I take a picture every year, but they are a nice metallic green.

This weevil is European in origin and first found in New York in 1906. They are reported to feed on leaves of trees such as apple, birch, oak, pear, poplar, strawberry and willow. They are rarely considered a pest.

Very nice and sharp Doug, great colors.

Yes we have them here too.
Does it make any harm to your succulents (Lithops)?

None that I could see Nikola...I think he was just passing through.

Really nice there Doug, especially the second one. Looks as though it is crawling over bird eggs.
