      Haha! I was thinking it might be a gravid female. Or else, just a well-fed beetle. Posted 4 years ago

        Yes gravid female also crossed my mind. And the head is so narrow, almost like an assassin bug. Posted 4 years ago

            It sure is. And all those different colors. Really gets better the longer you look at it. Posted 4 years ago

              I wish I had gotten better shots though! But, I would have missed it completely if I hadn't been bent over checking my legs for ticks. So, I'm satisfied that at least I got a shot. Posted 4 years ago

                  That might be the first time someone has thanked a tick. ;) Posted 4 years ago
