I believe that this is a False Potato Beetle. I was out doing macro photography yesterday and when I came home this beauty was on my front door. It was like it was waiting for me. I moved it to my garden and got some photos before it disappeared. Photographed in Maryland..

Potato Seller at market in Old Delhi, India.
Old Delhi or Purani Dilli was founded as a walled city of Delhi, India, founded as Shahjahanabad in 1639, when Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor at the time, decided to shift the Mughal capital from Agra.
The construction of the city was completed in 1648, and it remained the capital of the Empire until its fall in 1857, when the British Raj took over a paramount power in India.
It was once filled with mansions of nobles and members of the royal court, along with elegant mosques and gardens. Today, despite having become extremely crowded and dilapidated, it still serves as the symbolic heart of metropolitan Delhi.
Appearing when the plant matures and starts to form tubers underground. I’m going to remove them so the plants energy goes to growing tubers. If left they will produce small green tomato like berries.
Crazy Tuesday- Complementary Colours
I chose Purple and Yellow for my two colours. This is a Purple Potato Blossom and a member of the Nightshade's Family . Stu planted these last year in the Spring and some of the potatoes were left in the soil over the winter so they came up this year instead of last fall. We call these Volunteers. Nightshade blossoms are pretty distinctive looking. The petals on these flowers also come in white indicating that the potato is a white variety. (Thanks Wes for mentioning Crazy Tuesday)

A potato eye. This is the starting point for a new potato plant. For Macro Mondays theme "Eye". This is image covers about 1.5 inches lengthwise.
Some vegetables look pretty. Potatoes lack that visual charm. Instead, these mini Charlotte salad potatoes charm the taste buds. For Macro Mondays "Vegetable". FOV 2.8-inch.
This potato got buried in my potato bag in the pantry. I love how our produce can reproduce itself and holds the potential for new life. If you leave a chocolate bar or Twinkies buried in the pantry they won't do this.
The potato and it's roots got me thinking about how planting oneself firmly will keep you in one place growing upward and somewhat outward. Is that the only way to live life never wandering far and exploring but safely planted? I feel like it is the best way to raise a family. But I have no experience with moving around much.
Sorry my thoughts and ramblings feel incomplete and disconnected today.

Close up of a Russet Potato peel for Macro Mondays Group. The theme is "It's A-Peeling To Me".
I thought I would try joining a theme based group. Although my macro's are not as good as a lot of peoples I do like macro photography.
Den Kartoffelkäfer (Colorado beetle) kann ich nicht mehr finden, weil die erwachsenen Kartoffelkäfer sich zum Überwintern im Boden eingraben. Sie verlassen ihre Winterquartiere erst im Frühjahr wieder.
Mein kleiner Herbie ist wesentlich beliebter und hat sich extra für mich durch den Kartoffelkeller gewühlt.

This is a new one for local crop spotting, i'm pretty sure that its a potato field.
Since it was so early i had to bracket the exposures. Then for an extra challenge i tried focus stacking for the first time.

From what I can tell this is a "False Potato Beetle." It sure seemed to prefer Echenacia over potatoes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_potato_beetle.
