Small Flower Beetle

Post by WalterD »

Last weekend I also discovered this small (6mm body) beetle on a flower.
I assume it is some kind of flower beetle, but if somebody does recognize the family, please let me know. :?:
I've been experimenting a bit with illumination, pic 2 is epi combined with halogen/led but contains optical errors. Pic 3/4 is epi combined with ringlight. :idea: On the left of pic 4 (detail)you can see pollen stuck to the beetle's body.
Pic 5 is an image of the compound eye, in every facet you can see the reflection of my epi objective!
