The beetle is possibly Chysolita polita, It now looks more likely that it is Agonum sexpunctatum. It is resting on a nettle leaf.

Mass of poppies in two adjoining fields
The two fields separating Himley from Wall Heath as seen from the A449 earlier this month. It really looked like poppies were the main crop.
The conifers in the background of the first three pictures are lining the sides of the South Staffordshire Railway Walk.
The field nearer Wall Heath looked really spectacular from the top deck of bus 256. There wasn’t a line of sight on the ground to duplicate the view.
