Dogbane beetle (Chrysochus auratus)

Larose Forest

Not to be confused with the Japanese beetle, a non-native species that can be destructive in gardens. This is a native species that feeds almost exclusively on the wild spreading dogbane.

there's a high-gloss look to be wondered at, all shiny and a tad stippled...high-end shot too..
