Blue Beetle

I saw this Blue Beetle crossing a logging road I was on while sharpening my chainsaw, and went over for a closer look.
I believe the Beetle was sucking the juice from leaves. I unmercifully hounded the beetle as it crossed the road, and I think these are the best two photos.


Update: I couldn't resist, so I uploaded a short movie I took of the beetle in action. Sorry about the focus, the little digital camera wouldn't focus so close on movie mode.
