I love pottering around the garden after the rain because it is amazing what I find, sometimes even insects that I never even knew existed.
Like this one which after a bit of research I think is Aspidimorpha Furcata or Golden Tortoise Beetle, although this is the very first time I have ever seen one so I am not 100% sure on the identification - So if anyone has more insight please feel free to let me know.
This beetle is about 3mm in length and did not hang around long after I found it, I Just feel lucky I had my camera with me.
