Rose Chafer

"Cetonia aurata, called the rose chafer or the green rose chafer, is a beetle"

Had a lovely walk through Poole Park, along the Quay and a drink outside at The Custom House. Mainly warm sun, with a refreshing cool wind.

Noticed this stunning creature on a rose at one of the houses facing Poole Harbour. Would make a stunning brooch - in fact it looked like it was a precious metal!
