The day was on again off again storms, but I managed to find a window of time to go exploring. Found this little fellow near a patch of sumac.
He is a Sumac Flea Beetle. He had a bit of a time getting around the water drop,
and ended up crawling around it.
Another bug was closer to the creek. This bug was much bigger.
Some people call these guys stink bugs.
Some call them shield bugs. Technically he is probably euschistus obscurus. His back looks like a shield to me!
Hope you enjoyed!
