The Rosemary Leaf beetle is described as metallic green with purplish
stripes and feeds on rosemary (there's a surprise!), lavender and thyme.
There isn't a decent pic on the site and the google images I found weren't
much help but sounds possible?

5 minutes later...found this site
http://www.essexfieldclub.org.uk/ros...tle_survey.htm with excellent
pics and these people are collecting data on all sightings. They look very
beautiful.

Spotted in a client's garden today:

Ladybird in form, size and movement.

Iridescent dark green in colour with faint red stripes along the wing
casings.

Loads of them on a lavender.

What was it?
