  1. Beautiful blooms, and the Rosemary beetle is pretty. Yes, they can be pests and annoying.

    1. I thought critter was an American word but you always seem to use it!!! I love our insects when spring arrives,it means things must be warming up. Trouble is winter seems to arrive again all to soon,I am sure the years are shorter than they used to be :-)Keep well Diane
