The Garden Fruit Chafer is considered a pest in gardens and orchards, due to the adults feeding on flowers, fruit and seeping gum, and widely distributed in large numbers throughout South Africa. It is about 2.5cm long. The larvae develop in compost heaps or manure and make hard oval clay cells in which they pupate.

Jou fotos is weereens puik, De Wet!
Baie dankie, Una!
Oe, my ma raak baie kwaad vir hierdie outjies as hulle op haar suurlemoenboom kom sit!
Dis nou interessant dat hulle suurlemoenbome ook as kos gebruik – dankie daarvoor, Corna!
Okay…when I saw this bug it reminded me of the yellow volkswagon bug I used to drive!
There’s definitely a few shared traits! 😀
These are very fine photographs!
Thank you very much, Anne!
Beautiful colors though.
I agree!
