    The focus is perfect and the background is so beautiful!
    It looks like Grammoptera ruficornis. Too bad there is no information about it in Wikipedia.

      Thanks for the compliment!
      I also identified it as the ruficornis. Indeed to bad wikipedia doesn't feature this common beetle.       Posted 12 years ago

        Because your first description was: Grammoptera ruficornis (not sure though), I decided to check it against the other species in the genus and confirm your ID. Posted 12 years ago
