Unknown Bug This tiny fella, turned up out of the blue as I worked in the garden. I had never seen a bug like this before, and neither had any of the people I&#039;ve asked (none of them being etymologists). Any assistance would be great. The Abdomen is a deep, dark blue with bright flecks. It is only small, barely bigger than a man&#039;s fingernail.<br /> <br /> Nikon D700 Australia,Geotagged,bug,insect,macro,unknown Click/tap to enlarge

    Wow, what an extraordinary species. Can you share a little more? Where and when did you capture it? Posted 10 years ago
