Castiarina crenata on Kunzea ambigua - Location: Blue Mountains, Australia
One of these jewel beetles was drinking the nectar from these flowers, and then the other one flew down to 'get cosy' with them.
Kunzea ambigua is a powerhouse of a plant in the local area - over 142 (!!!) different insect and spider species have been counted on this plant (most of them pollinating it).
Just looking at Jewel Beetles (Buprestidae) alone, at least 17 different species have been documented on these plants in the local area.
In Australia there are about 1200 known, described species of Jewel Beetles / Buprestidae.

This very small (~3 mm / .12") betle which looks like it is glowing from within is another one of those which Stanislav Snäll showed me during the Stockholm Entomological Society excursion to the Nackareservatet nature reserve.
The scientific name is Bitoma crenata and I believe there are two vernacular English names in "saddle-backed bitoma" as well as "crenate cylindrical bark beetle".
These guys live under the bark of dead trees and can be found in large parts of Europe and North America and the photo was taken at 3.9:1 magnification
