This guy flew into my propane lantern after dark a couple of weeks ago then landed on the picnic table. I thought he was pretty awesome looking so I snapped a few pictures. At the time I didn't know what it was, only knowing it was a beetle of some sort. My girlfriend nicknamed it a watermelon bug because of the resemblance. Only later I discovered it was a ten lined beetle otherwise known as a watermelon beetle. How about that! Thought some of you might find it interesting.
