Dogwood calligrapha (Calligrapha philadelphica)

I find this particular group of beetles (Calligrapha beetles)very beautiful. They all have wonderful patterns and colours. I decided to take a look for these guys on the dogwoods and found only one. Sometimes they are plentiful. I generally find them from early June through July. These beetles are in the Chrysomelidae family, the leaf-eating beetles.
