Check this site,

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.

Clare,

The Rosemary Leaf Beetle I know of is purple with green stripes, not the
other way around.
