No common name
Chrysolina auripennis is in the Leaf Beetles (Chrysomelidae) family. With so many beetles in the world it is not surprising that most do not have a common name.
I brought it inside for a photo shoot. It was about 8mm(3/8″).
Split-beard bluestem (Andropogon ternarius) and Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) often are found together. That old wind was sure blowing today.
A female Common Meadow Katydid (Orchelimum vulgare) with it pretty red eyes.
For Gracie fans!
Ready to play with all the leaves that were blown on to the trail.
Get ready…
Gotcha leaves!
