Rosemary beetle.

Was trying to get photos of bees on the masses of Rosemary that we have when I spotted this tiny little beetle.

Never seen one before.
Apparently, they are not native to the UK but originate in southern Europe. They were first seen in London in 1994 presumably having been imported on Rosemary. Since then, they have spread about the UK.
Sadly the antennae are not in focus.

The extra is one of the bees I did manage to capture. Still not pin sharp.
I need to try harder. Or get a ring flash.....or similar...
