I came across this pretty red beetle with eight black spots the other day, but don't know what it's called. I have seen similar beetles with six spots, but never eight. It has wings, because I saw it flying. If anyone knows it's name, I would appreciate you telling me. |

I'm sorry, I don't know who it is. But I see that it is beautiful and is very similar to ladybugs !
Have a nice weekend :)
such a pretty shot.
Pretty bug and shot. The color is similar with ladybug.
De kleur doet erg veel vooral hier.
I haven't met it either, it must be specific to the iberian peninsula.
Surely you must have a coleoptera guide in Portugal :)
Very nice and sharp picture!
I am sure you could see marmots in the Pyrenees if you can go there but you'll probably have to wait until next year now!
Enjoy your sunday, Sonjia!
Gorgeous photo of the beetle but resembles a lady bug but bigger ~ no idea what it is ~ but great shot!

I reads your message for help re ID but I'm not familiar with this species. It looks like a Leaf Beetle (Chrysomelidea) and very similar to a Clytra species.
Sorry I can't be more definite.
I think it is 'Mylabris quadripunctata', but I'm not quite sure. A beautiful image.
Beautiful red beetle!
Great shot, Mother Nature decorates her bugs well. :)
lovely bug and great background. love Sue
Beautiful shot of this gorgeous bug. Great colours.
Hi Sonjia!
Nice and bright colours this beetle has to display - very much resembling the smaller and more popular ladybird the children like to play with.
Great shot!

A beautiful red beetle but unfortunately I do not know his name too
I know little about beetles but this one is a cutie! Reminds me of a lady bug. Have a blessed day, Sonjia!

Lovely bug.....elegant shape too!
Happy Monday!

A lovely shot of the beetle but I'm afraid I can't help with a name. Now if it was a bird.....
Ciekawy:)
I have never seen one like it. So so beautiful!!
Forgot to say, I really enjoyed your comments about the Trout Catch post! :-)
It is a pretty beetle, a colorful shot! Thank you for linking up, enjoy your week!
Hello, Sonija; Oh, I also thought it looked like a lady bug p:) I checked with the picture page of "Mylabris quadripunctata" one of your your friend said. Sure looks like it and such a beautiful picture of it with flower from you♡♡♡
ps> My new windows 8.1 is still giving me weary to get used to it and installing software(^^;)
What an elongated lady-bug like insect!
It's pretty, whatever it is called!
