 Found this handsome creature on a ziplining trip to West VA, on a friend's hand for once.

 Here is a short clip of it skittering about, if such a word exists.

 Posing not on a potato

 This beetle was particularly charming looking head on.

 Side view, plump isn't it?
|
|
 Staring as intently as I was, I think it looks like a dog in this one
|
 Finally, a good shot of the three stripes. I have to say again, love the coloring on these beetles!!

Meandering among deadly nightshade, one of its favorite plants. |

WARTY LEAF BEETLE

 Ok,
kept seeing these little shiny lump of what looked like
dirt. I stared for a while and was rewarded with it coming
alive and walking about.
|
 I think they look like mini rhinos
|
 Head on, looks prehistoric as well
|
|
