These green critters often feast on my basil leaves, as they are doing in the following pics. Kind of like a small green version of a red lilly beetle. Any ID help is welcome. Click on pic for a larger image on flickr if you desire. (EF 100 Macro USM + Full set of Kenko tubes @ 2.1:1)

Nice photos. Best looking beetle I've ever seen. Possibly Irish as well!
