About 25% of all known animals are beetle – so if we ever get the chance to send a representative to an intergalactic conference, an argument could be made for sending this chap (or chapess) rather than one of the naked apes.
You can find more macro shots at Macro Monday.

Enjoy the close ups!

Ah ... but how would we select a representative??!!
love that second photo!
Love your close-ups. It takes some effort to get the beetle's portrait. Green background may be more interesting but it may be harder to get a good portrait. I haven't seen such a beetle before. Probably not available here.
Great close-ups, especially that last one!
these are really exquisite macro shots!
Great shots! I'm sure s/he appreciated the help.
That is one fine Coleoptera!
Best regards.

Excellent macro...glad he stayed around long enough for you to get a couple of shots in. 25% eh? That surprises me, and I'm not sure if it is a good way or a bad way.
Fantastic photos - especially the second one enlarged. He/she actually looks quite fierce.
I used to love beetles as a kid, especially what we called Christmas Beetles. It was so exciting seeing the first one on the big gum tree we had. I am afraid we used to try to get them down from their leaves though....kids.
Love these beetle shots!!
