Cetonia aurata 🪲 in Macro

Cetonia aurata, also known as the rose chafer or rose beetle, is a beetle from the scarab family.

These beautiful insects are a common sight in the summer and can be found on wildflowers, as well as on plants such as roses and honeysuckle.

Photographed in my garden today.
