At first I thought this was a Black and Red Blister Beetle, but I'm not so sure because of its hairy head. Perhaps one of you with more bug experience will be able to help ID. Thank you!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and weekend!

The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), also known as the Colorado beetle, the ten-striped spearman, the ten-lined potato beetle, or the potato bug, is a major pest of potato crops. It is about 10 mm (3⁄8 in) long, with a bright yellow/orange body and five bold brown stripes along the length of each of its elytra. Native to the Rocky Mountains, it spread rapidly in potato crops across America and then Europe from 1859 onwards.
This one was sitting in my garden with no potato field in miles around, so I left it alone...

Everyone recognizes lady beetles, or ladybugs, and welcomes them into their gardens. Unfortunately, baby lady beetles look nothing like they do as adults. Instead of bright red shells and black dots, ladybug larvae resemble tiny black alligators and do not look like something you want crawling around your plants. Take a good look, because the last thing you want to do is kill these garden allies before they reach maturity.

Another image of a Tansy Beetle, this time on a sunnier sunrise which produced some lovely bokeh in the background. This little Beetle posed perfectly!
A small beetle that I found under a log on 3/9/21. When it's this early in the year and we are just starting to have random intermittent warm days, my go to spots for finding insects are under rotten logs and under rocks. You tend to mostly find isopods, centipedes, and millipedes but it's still great to be out interacting with nature again after the dreary indoor winter months.
There were four of these brightly coloured beetles on a spreading dogbane plant, a very pretty wildflower. Three of the beetles hid from the lens but this one decided to cooperate, lucky me!
Thanks for looking and for leaving me a comment, much appreciated. Have a wonderful day!
I found this rather impressive beetle on a peony blossom recently. Because there's a few beetles that look quite similar, I'm not 100% sure of its ID, but I think this is a Trigonarthris minnesotana. If you know otherwise, please let me know.
Thank you for your views and comments, much appreciated! Have a great weekend!
