I found this beautiful creature on the verandah today - even though it's way past Christmas. He is anything but common! When the sunlight hits that outer shell you see a gorgeous metallic green colour. These little fellows feed on eucalypt leaves.

Great photo Bernieh. I'm not sure I'd appreciate him for Chirstmas though.
