Going Buggy
At first I thought this bug was Polyphylla Decemlineata, but they only live in the Northwest. Could one have traveled here on packages from my Seattle relatives?On second thought, I deduced it might just be the Colorado Potato Beetle.
Anyway, it was interesting to see this handsome fellow in the yard, even though we suspect his motives.

He looks kind of like a striped hard candy.
Only quasi-related to bugs, but you're the only one I know who might appreciate this -- the other night I was nearby the main train station at dusk and saw a good 50 or more bats come out of the rear of the condemned theater building on North St. I had been worried they were gone with the White Nose Syndrome, but we still have them!
Usually I see sleeping bats near my workplace in Bridgewater. But none at all there this year.
Er, yes. I like bugs and bats, too. As long as they're not in my home, that is.
All these surprises that reveal the creatures with whom we share our space are very worthwhile, as they broaden our experience and understanding of our world.
LOL...this does remind me of a piece of candy!!! and it is Beautiful. Yes -- Renata thinks the bug is beautiful! I too appreciate beauty/nature/life in all it's form.
