Field Notes

Description:

Small beetle with golden-orange coloration. Three black spots on each elytra Margins are transparent. This little beetle hardly stayed around long enough for me to get one shot but I am glad to have gotten it, even if it is not in focus.

Habitat:

Suburban yard. Rose-of-Sharon plant.
