Dogbane

I went to a nearby field today, the milkweeds are in bloom and Dogbane beetles were everywhere so I took a few pictures. “Dogbane Leaf Beetle on Dogbane flower”

Junan, like this a lot, the center line of the leaf leads my eye to the beetle.

Whoa, that bug has some irridescent colors happening

[Junan Heath]

@peacerebel Thank you so much! :) For a bug, It's very beautiful! The Dogbane plant grows 2 to 3 feet high with these lovely bunches of pink bells all over it. The field was full of them.

[Jolly]

Wonderful! It looks as if the beetle is hugging its namesake flower.

[Darlene]

What a cool bug. Love its colors and the flower adds so much to this photo.
