Among the beetles and bugs at the park, some good and some are bad for the plants. One of the good guys are these little Goldenrod Soldier Beetles. These good soldiers feed on aphids and other soft-bodied insects. Their larvae feed on the eggs of beetles, grasshoppers, moths and other insects. They are an organic gardeners friend. I found a bunch of them busy on some Wild Quinine at the park, it may have their 'singles bar' of sorts - a number of them were finding mates there.
Enjoy!
