Pic of the Day: Iridescent beetle

I found this amazing iridescent green beetle in my garden today. I couldn’t get any shots that captured how brilliant the shell was. It looked like a flying jewel.

Update: Regular reader Michael correctly identified it as a Figeater Beetle. I never saw one on the fig tree at my old place, so I didn’t know about these little guys!
