September 4: Pennsylvannia Leatherwing

I did not know the name of this beetle until today. The Pennsylvannia Leatherwing Beetle provides free organic pest control. It loves to seek out aphids. I always seem to have aphids, no matter what other organic treatment I use. Therefore, I treasure this beetle.

Glad to see he's busy at work

I like the beetle, but the colors in the flower is what draws me to the photo. fav
