Cute as a Bug

I think this bug is cute! She lives in our garden.




I scooted her onto a cement block wall to try to get a picture that shows her blue legs. She was rather slow and she didn't try to get away.




She turned to look at me.

I think I found a bug like her in our bug book, but the picture doesn't show blue legs. I think her name could be gomadarakamikiri. She's in the beetle family. Her body is about 2 inches long. I couldn't find a bug like her in the books at the book store so I don't know her Latin name. I'll keep looking...
