Coleoptera
A subtly beautiful beetle by a mountain creek. I found this beetle in an area I have been going to for years, but I only went there once this year. When I got there the first time this year, I saw that the extreme rains we got over the winter had caused the creek to become a destructive torrent, and almost the entire creekside area where I used to find my best insects was wiped out with little but sand and rocks left. I guess I should stop complaining during the drought years, AKA, be careful what you wish for!
