Pink and Purple Jewel Beetle
I did break an antenna cleaning this bugger
The bug also had some white fibers I could not completely remove
This bug is spectacular. I will get another and hope I get a better specimen and do not break the bugger

Great image, Bob. Love the details and color. Bummer about the antenna, but still an amazing specimen.

Cool! I'm thinking that breaking the model is only acceptable in bug photography
