Beetle with blue metallic paint / Käfer mit blauer metallic Lackierung

johannpiber (72)in #photography • 5 years ago

Unfortunately, I have not found the correct name of this beetle anywhere. That's why today's title is ...

Ich habe leider nirgendwo die korrekte Bezeichnung dieses Käfers finden können. Deshalb lautet der heutige Titel...

blue Beetle / blauer Käfer

Everything I write here today can be completely wrong. Please correct me in the comments. Maybe someone knows the exact name of the beetle.

Alles was ich heute hier schreibe, kann auch vollkommen falsch sein. Bitte korrigiert mich in den Kommentaren. Vielleicht kennt auch jemand die genaue Bezeichnung des Käfers.

For this blue metallic shimmering beetle I have found the english name "Aspen Leaf-rolling Weevil".

Der blau metallisch schimmernde Käfer gehört zur Familie der Blattroller und dürfte ein Rebenstecher sein.

Unfortunately, I have not come so close, and whenever I wanted to photograph him from the front, the little rascal has turned away and then finally fled.

Ich bin leider auch nicht so nahe herangekommen, und immer, wenn ich ihn von vorne fotografieren wollte, hat er sich der kleine Schlingel weggedreht und ist dann schlussendlich auch geflüchtet.

So, does anyone know more about this beautiful little beetle?

Also, weiß jemand mehr über diesen schönen kleinen Käfer?

This beetle stole a piece of sky and carries it always with you, greedy beetle)) Excellent macro photography, my Dear friend @Johannpiber! You have found a great perspective for shooting. I see the second object of macrophotography, no less remarkable. This beautiful fly, perfectly balances the fourth photograph.
Good evening to you, my friend!

I have seen this fly at home when I looked through the photos ;) ... but both insects together, even when the fly is blurred, make a nice image composition by accident, I have to agree :)

Thank you, my friend @barski, your comment is unique and nice, as always. I wish you a good evening and night too :)

Danke dir vielmals @faltermann, es war eine blöde Situation wegen einem Strauch, zwischen dessen Ästen die Blumen herausgewachsen sind und ich nicht wirklich gut zum Käfer gekommen bin, ohne dass alles gewackelt hat ;)

Toll erwischt auch wenn er sich immer weggedreht hat. Das kommt mir irgendwie bekannt vor 😊

Danke dir, und das war wirklich so. Ich wollte den Käfer auch nicht stören oder ärgern und von der Blüte nehmen, und leider waren die Blüten bei einem Gebüsch und ich konnte nur von zwei Seiten einigermaßen dazu 😊

Yes, @prydefoltz, Bob would match, I think. When I meet this nice little guy next time I will call him "Bob". Maybe he does not turn around then when I try to photograph him from the front 😉
Thank you very much for this nice comment 😊

I wonder how close you are to the object when photographing such a lens?

I am sorry, but I do not remember - I think, about 40-50cm. I could have gone closer with the 105mm macro, but because of bushes around the flower I couldn't. This is, why I had to crop the images so much.
