From the front, we see a beautiful rust brown beetle with gold horizontal stripes on its back with punctured elytra, thorax, and head with dark brown eyes.

From the front, we see a beautiful rust brown beetle with gold horizontal stripes on its back with punctured elytra, thorax, and head with dark brown eyes.

Cool little Cryptocephalus tinctus (I think), less than 3mm. Photographed on Common Ivy leaf behind our house today. Temp 58° in East TN.
