I adore flea markets. Where else can you find a mirror to reflect the sky and an outdated porn mag. At the same stall.

Flea can be so weird sometimes. I totally would not have thought this was comfortable, yet here she is.

Likely the pigweed flea beetle. I thought these beetles were quite pretty, and I watched and took a few photos through the whole few minutes of their "courtship." I'm told they are pigweed flea beetles, Disonycha glabrata.
The red-collared beetle at left is the female; their bodies (at least the undersides) are also the same colors you see behind their heads. The female started on the leaves of the plant and moved to the flower. I first saw the male when he was a few feet away, but he made his way to the flower and crawled onto it, then across it. He moved to the leaves next to her, then he flew onto the same flower she is on, behind her. From there he jumped or flew onto her back, made a connection with a tube-like genital apparatus, and they flew away together. Southern Indiana.
It made me curious what kind of communications they might be doing that I could not monitor, scent or sound for example. I saw no sign the female was (or was not) interested; the male made all the visible moves. Apparently they are called "flea" beetles because they are very good jumpers and they have long rear legs.

My wife thought we could catch fleas in a pan of water and oil with a flashlight. We only caught cats!
Ricky : "Look at this guy??! Who's he supposed to be??!"
Me : "That's Ernest P. Worrell. He was pretty famous at one time.. He had some TV commercials and some movies.."
Ricky : "And now he's peeping out of a bin at a flea market... That's sort of sad.."
Me : "Yeah.. Should we bring him home??"
Ricky : "Gosh no! His cheesy smile sort of creeps me out!"
