a tiny Polydrusus surveying the area after falling from its plant onto my conveniently placed hand. while it can often be difficult to estimate a bug's size in a photo with no frame of reference, in this case i can tell this thing is One Fourth Of My Knuckle long

the thistles in this area were pretty popular with the Polydrusus this spring. the vast majority of them were the classic green associated with several widespread species, but i also happened to find a cool bronze one shown in the second photo. diversity win: both are equally annoying to photograph

Think I'm just going to start posting pics of the handsome insects that I find working at the park this summer.

This little green leaf weevil was on the outside of the campground office today
