Thanks for sharing. You have some lovely critters in your yard and the beetle is so cute.

Even though the leafhopper is blurry, I still remember getting lots of those around here. They were all over our huge rose bush but my parents cut it down. I still haven't figured out a way to keep sap-drinking insects alive in captivity..

Ya that leaf hopper is on a rose bush and he is only one of hundreds lol and the ten stripe beetles are awesome we don't see a lot of them but they should be showing up again here soon! The males look much cooler!

I forget that OR has a few surprises. Do you know what the larvae are? I recall seeing them recently but can't for life of me remember what they are.

?? Not sure but I do believe the larvae resemble a D. granti larvae a lot just smaller you find them near the root systems of plants fruit trees and sage most the time...
