These colourful beetles were seen on the trip to Cap de Ses Salines, the southern most point of the island, a couple of weeks ago. There were literally thousands of them on the rocks but it was not clear why they were there. there seemed to be little to eat, they weren't all mating, there were just lots of them. This small group seem to be scrambling over something but I'm not sure what or why. Perhaps they are all males except for the one under the pile and they are all competing to mate with her!
