We found this eye-catching beetle in our garden, and were both amazed at the vividness of its colours. It was so shiny too, and looked just like it had had a duco spray job! It was not a co-operative creature to photograph, as it kept moving non-stop, so I ended up having to take lots of photos to get one good clear one! After this was accomplished we returned it to the garden. I discovered when identifying it, that it gets its name from the green markings, which look like the outline of a fiddle (violin).
