You are right, it is a beautiful insect and the plant is beautiful too. I am glad you did not increase the colors in postprocessing, it is easy to have the temptation with a colourful shot like this one, it looks natural.
Thanks for sharing.

Welcome on TN Hans. I have never seen one of these before but it sure is beautiful and you did well with the dof getting a lot of details. Great colours and composition.

This beetle does look like it's name...scarab. I wonder if the jewelry was named after this lovely beetle. Great shot, Hans. That 180mm macro lens is truly a thing of beauty in your competent hands. The detail on the flower is amazing.

A very nice composition of beetle on flower. Great DOF and placement of the beetle in the frame.
