Gah I need a macro lens! The colors here are perfect, the vibrant, metallic green against the white rose. Great sharpness too

Beautifull colors. These are one of my fav species. I keep them as pets for more than 6 years

Some jewelry designers have used these magnificent creatures, after chemical treatment, in their expensive jewel collections. Looks quite elegant on a dress in white satin or similar.
Please don't ask from where come the inspiration...
I wonder if they capture them alive or wait patiently for them to die naturally.

most probably capture them alive and then process in such a way that they won't decompose... preserving already, naturally dead ones would be more problematic I assume...
I don't think I would wear such a jewellery though

yes, capture them alive...
me too, I wouldn't wear jewelry with these beautiful creatures. Prefer to discover and watch them alive in their home.

such a beautiful beetle, I used to love finding them in my grandparents garden. And as you can imagine, they did not enjoy it nearly as much as I did.
