Interesting shot, but the beetle looks far too dead. No self-respecting insect would be caught with none of his six feet gripping the stem. Kill the beetle, cool the damsel and suddenly the shot isn't that hard to get.

At first glance this looks like a once in a lifetime shot. However the lower beetle is clearly not holding onto the stem with it's claws, holding its full body aloft, as any live beetle would do. It looks placed. The DF also has a broken segment on the top middle wing, a sign of a dried out dead specimen removed/replaced once too often from a specimen box. They have very good sight and it's imo unlikely it would sit on a predator or land anywhere near anything that looks so different from the surrounding foliage.
I'd say this is from the same author as this:

and I'm now not so convinced that was natural either.
