  1. What a find! Did it also move similar to an ant? Posted 4 years ago
    1. It didn't do a lot of moving, but it had me fooled with this posture. I got a couple of shots and then it fell from the leaf (and I lost it)! Posted 4 years ago
  2. That's really cool! Posted 4 years ago
    1. I thought so too! One of the coolest beetles I've seen so far this Spring/Summer season! Posted 4 years ago
