All of next week's Colour Challenges in one bug

Here are two photos of a spectacularly coloured little bug I saw yesterday:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO640, f5.6, 1/125s}

I think it is a Chrysolina varians, veelkleurig goudhaantje in Dutch. I haven't found a common name in English. Another photo:

I have considered posting these photos every day next week for the Colour Challenge, but that may be seen as cheating.

Thanks for watching!

Wow. Beautiful and colorful bug.

I look forward to seeing this little bug appear in my feed each day this week, with the color of the day highlighted. And then summarized at weeks' end. Do beetles make pithy sayings as well as pigs? ; )

You could put it in for four days at least, just flip it clockwise each time. No one will know.

Hm. Consider this I must.

Ooh I really love all the colors :-)

They also come in blue metallic 8-).

That is one crazy bug. I have never done LSD but I guess he might show up if I did.

I think it translates to rainbow bug LOL! Very cool.

If it doesn't, it should!

How sweet. Such a nice shiny animal!

Now that's a way to get the attention, with all colours!
Cute little fella there. I haven't seen such a colourful one since the 80s
It is good that it still exist in your part of your world @ocrdu

woow never so those ones

I have never seen such a beautiful bug before <3
Upvoted!

Those colors are amazing!

Whoa, nice! I was on a photography outing earlier today and I came across a blowfly with a similar pattern. Unfortunately it flew away before I could get a photo of it. I'll have to find something a bit less mobile, like this beetle :)

Great photo, followed :)

Maybe you just need to move more slowly 8-).

You did get a good shot of a blue damselfly, after all! I would have cropped it a little bit less closely, but that is a matter of taste.

I had almost taken the photo of the fly, but it flew away whilst I was adjusting my focus haha.

Thanks for the feedback on the damselfly photo, I think that's a good idea :)

Well what a handsome little guy. Great shots.

@ocrdu
You are right. That is amazing color for a bug. And your photography skills captured all of it. Nature has some amazing colors.
Thank you for your work and for showing us this. We all appreciate it.
