Beetles - The Thick-legged Flower Beetle

First seen on Friday 9th June 2017 at Croome

Flower beetles are named for the obvious reason they are frequently found on flowers, feeding on the pollen. They have a metallic green wing case that seems to be a few sizes too small. The female below does not have the 'thick legs' in the other part of their name, only the males have this, as shown in the second photo.
