A Lilly Beetle.  Very colourful but you don't want these in your garden.

They’ve decimated my lilies in two days ... so not my favourite macro subject ..usually a spray of water mixed with some olive oil kills them ...   but I didn’t notice them as I’ve been indoors while it rained the last two days.......

Grrrrrrr...... Great pic though John

Spelling never was my strongest subject Fuj.  

Thanks all for the comments. 

I picked them off one by one from ours over a number of days Polly.  Hence being able to get this one to pose.  Don't like proprietary killers so thanks for the tip.

Yeah I  use soapy wateroften but olive oil and water tends to  do the trick ....sorry to all the bug lovers ! .. BTW  I am  sending you a pm regarding  your  family tree.

Nice catch john - his colour stands out really well against the background - shame they are a problem!
