Whilst Waiting Patiently

Crumby has only espied this particular beetle Sphaenotecus bivittata on its larval host plant Eysenhardtia texana, previously. Yet here one is on tall goldenrod. The CB kidneywood may be late, forcing the beetles to nectar elsewhere.

Photographing these beetles is hard work because the antennae are excessively long. Soon as you get one antenna in focus, the alternative antenna is out of state.
