This Calopteron netwinged beetle looks like it belongs in some exotic rainforest. But I photographed in the outskirts of Chicago, at the Indiana Dunes.

Sorry that I’ve mostly missed portfolio day, there’s always so much great art to see. I did, however, meet a beetle today. It chased me down a gravel path, clung to my leg - which I gently removed it from - then apparently chased and landed on me a second time bc I just found it in my bed. Did it like the lemon eucalyptus I was drenched in? I don’t know. It has now been released outside.
I think it’s a hermit beetle, but ON folk feel free to correct me.

A warty leaf beetle, which, it turns out, is the adult form of what I dubbed the "poop hat larva" last fall. Much like the larval form, this little beetle looked like a bit of poo out for a stroll.

Flipping bricks, found this rove beetle. It gave me a threat display before scurrying away.

It's not Wednesday, but here's a weevil.
My best guess is a red elm bark beetle, photographed in Wisconsin.

A twenty-spotted lady beetle exploring a browning rose bush leaf.
Most of our native lady beetles are much smaller than the introduced species, and this one is just 2mm in length.
