Locust borer beetle and spotted cucumber beetle

This locust borer (a long-horned beetle), was peacefully feeding on the goldenrod flowers, when this pushy spotted cucumber beetle literally walked all over him to get to the next flower!

That's neat, both to capture and observe! If we scaled this up it would be like a squirrel trying to walk over a bear! But the outcome of that would probably be much different.
