IT'S rare to see one of York's elusive tansy beetles - rarer still to catch them mating.

But these photos - taken this week at two separate locations in the city - capture this very act.

The tansy beetle is a visual treat to the eye on account of its iridescent green-and-bronze body, the beetles are known locally as the 'Jewel of York'.
