Nature Encounters

“Rest, nature, books, music—such is my idea of happiness.” – Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)

Rainbow Scarab (Phanaeus vindex)

I’m not sure where she was going but I found her upside down on the sidewalk.  I did help her get right side up then realize how colorful she was in the sun.  Supposedly the males are even more colorful than this one.
