Thick Legged Flower Beetle
Dear Steve,
Thanks for sending in your image of a Thick Legged Flower Beetle, Oedemera nobilis. When the lighting is correct, the Thick Legged Flower Beetle appears a beautiful, metallic green color. According to Bug Life: “The thick-legged flower beetle is commonly seen on the flowers of ox-eye daisies and other open-structured flowers. They are a common occurrence in gardens in the South of England.”
