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.
