Snacking on the Coreopsis

“I have my own views about Nature's methods, though I feel that it is rather like a beetle giving his opinions upon the Milky Way.” ~ Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr. (Scottish writer, creator of the detective Sherlock Holmes, 1859-1930)

This is a spotted cucumber beetle, but it eats flowers too. This destructive little guy is also known as a southern corn rootworm.

Thanks for viewing. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
