Is this in your garden Esther? Does it eat the flowers or leaves?

Do they nibble a bit or are they real pest? I took a large rosemary down last year and have a few young plants coming on as a replacement.

The one I had was metallic with no stripes and much smaller.

Been told they are in Warwickshire by the county recorder for beetles for Warwickshire Steve Lane.
