Blue Skies and Green Bugs by cjwhite

Blue Skies and Green Bugs

The sky was a beautiful blue today. It was much cooler and I thought all morning that the butterflies were gone. I finally saw a couple of Checkered Whites and a Skipper. I got a few shots of the Skipper, but they weren't anything to write home about.

I did find a new insect that I hadn't seen before. This is a Spotted Cucumber Beetle. They can be yellow to greenish yellow. The ones I saw were more green. I have a better close up of the beetle, but I kept coming back to this pic. I like the colors.

Thank you for kind comments and faves! :0)
My goodness! Love the colors on this. The green bug is a surprise!
