Perhaps theres a pic on this page:  http://www.escarabajolandia.com/Ingles/galleries/index1.html

Nope, not on there Snoozi, but i did identify SCARABAEOIDEA - CETONIIDAE that were on my broad beans last year, great gallery! Not the Colorado Beetle either Ken thanks for posting the link. Dennis and Gnasher don't seem to be doing much damage so I'll leave them to it!

[Biscombe]
