As I walked around our pond looking for flowers and dragonflies to photograph I found this brightly colored bug on some milkweed. I first thought this was one of the 5,000 ladybugs (ladybird beetles). After drawing a blank as a lady bug, farther research identified the bug as a Milkweed Leaf Beetle (Labidomera clivicollis).
I love this picture. Just discovered this beetle on my plants in the garden. Cute, but destructive!
