Emerald and gold

No photo description available.
A dead beetle we found in the back yard yesterday. 
That vivid green color sparkled in the grass.
I made my husband hold it for me while I took a picture to share.

Scarab Beetles were deified in ancient Egypt; you can see why.

Occasionally, on our walks and hikes we come across similar shiny beetles in the woods. I am always careful so as not to tread on them.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Although I wish no harm, I don't like those guys in my yard.

It is a bit of art. And that Greg, what a man!

I think that one is called John. Was there another dead beetle lying in the grass? And did you see Paul and Ringo scurrying away?
