Flower Beetle?

[jezlee]

On first sight, I thought this was Oedemera nobilis, the Thick-Legged Flower Beetle, but when I did a search on Google, all the pics I found were of green-coloured beetles, although they did indeed resemble this one very closely. Is there a red version, and if so, what is it called?

p.s. I apologise now - it's not one of my best photographs!

This is Oedemera nobilis, this species can often be seen with a coppery pink colour to it.

They get more red/coppery as they get older.

Thanks to you both for the information - the trick is now to remember it next time I see one!

Just like to add my thanks to Matt and Dogghound for enlightening me too, as all the beetles I have come across in the past have been green.
