Macro Monday - Locust Borer

Joining Lisa for Macro Monday today.





I was out taking a walk the other day and decided to walk down the alley where I had discovered the Chinese Lantern Plants featured in this post.
I discovered a plant with some unusual bugs on it but had no clue what they were.  Then when I was sitting outside on our porch the other night I spotted the same bug on one of my Marigold plants. 

I decided to upload a photo to Bug Guide to try and identify the bug.  They are very quick to help with information.  I learned that this bug is a, Locust Borer and that the plant in the first photo is a Goldenrod Plant.






They are pretty cool looking bugs and I like the fact that this one decided to land on a yellow marigold plant in my garden.

Have a great day and don't forget to check in on Lisa's blog to see some other great Macro shots.

  5. Very nice post. I took photos of what I thought was a hummingbird because its wings moved so fast. What I looked at the photos I realized it was not. I found it online it was a humingbird clear wing that cames from Africa. It was fun discovering it.

  6. I get so excited when I see an exotic bug on a plant! -I have a half-sister that wanted to be an entomologist, so maybe it's genetic :) Your pixs are really good, especially that last one with the yellow bug on yellow.

  7. Thats a great looking insect - I wonder how many things like this we miss because we look for things that are big!

    Its also a good story about how you were bale to find you what we call it.

  11. Nature is amazing. There was no need for bugs to be fancy, but look at the variety. His hand at work.
