Beauty and the Beetles

Some colorful beetles caught my eye on the way to the park today.

This Six-spotted Tiger Beetle stopped and posed for a few shots, then crawled into the grass.  Another beetle, a little larger, definitely larger than a ladybug was a strong contrast on large green wildflower leaves.

This is an Argus Tortoise Beetle.  He looks like he has had some battles with something, one of his antennae is broken.  There was also a new bluish beauty at the park.

Spiderwort is just starting to bloom along the creek.

Hope you enjoyed!
