Pretty in its own way…a violet oil beetle I think, busy munching on a plant stem.

So I just saw this beetle for the first time ever and learned via #SeekApp that it is called a Rustic Sailor Beetle and I just may have never been so charmed in my whole bug watching life. #beetles #insects #bugstodon #PNW #OlympiaWA

A very handsome beetle (Hippopsis lemniscata) with long, Long, LONG antennae, on a wild onion.

#beetles #coleoptera #insects #arthropods #photography

The same beetle, but now we're looking down on his back, giving us a better view of his lovely stripes, which run from tail to head and are continued by the two long antennae.
Now we zoom out, so we can see the beetle's antennae in all their long, long glory. They trail down below the insect's body, and are at least four times the body's length! They are spread in a narrow V, and barely turn up at the end.

A pair of aptly named “dimorphic flower longhorn beetles” getting ready for business on a bed of cow parsnip.

I mustn't let May go by without a nod to my 2009 article on the discovery, during the 19th century, of same-sex copulation among Maybugs (also known as Maybeetles, cockchafers, doodlebugs). Do look out for them at it in your garden! 🌈🌳

A handsome black and red beetle (iNaturalist says Pedilus) on a green leaf.

The same beetle on the same leaf, now viewed from above, where we can better appreciate his leathery, delicately fuzzy elytra and the graceful arrangement of his thin calligraphy-stroke legs.
