Thank you so much, fellows!

It's true, only one shiny beetle. Should I change the title?

To render the things even more complicated, here are some more rainbow shapes and the same shot desaturated.

The lens shows quite pronounced barrel distortion if one looks attentively. Although that does not seem to spoil the shots too much.

I am reading they are quite harmful insects, as opposed to their shiny look.

Quote:
This species was first discovered living outdoors in the United Kingdom in 1994. By 2002 it had become widespread in the London area, and spreading rapidly throughout. Although it is susceptible to some pesticides, it is usually recommended that home growers pick off beetles by hand, or shake them off onto a sheet of paper to remove them, if the plant affected by them is intended for culinary purposes. Otherwise, they do not present a major problem to the host plants, although a large, long- term infestation can be devastating.


No worries. Too many of anything attracts predators after a time.
