No common name (Paropsis ornata)
my main source of praise for Timarcha lusitanica, a bumbling chrysomelid that i encounter fairly often throughout the year, are its legs and their colorful metallic sheen under the right lighting. this is not the right lighting and this post is not about them. this post is about its shoes

Leaf Beetle (Family Chrysomelidae), larva, taken July 3, 2026, in New Hampshire, US
A ridiculously rotund beetle larva clinging to the underside of a leaf, probably hoping I won't bother it! Luckily for this individual, I took my couple photos and left, leaving it no worse for wear. This short, rounded larval form seems to be quite popular in insects. I've seen it in leaf beetles, ladybugs, and some butterflies so far, though I wouldn't be surprised if more took on this shape. I wonder what advantage being so squished has other than extra cuteness factor, maybe mimicking the shape of a parasitic wasp pupa?

A lovely Disonycha caroliniana that I met today. I love their stripes!
They look like hand-painted art.

I can’t believe I actually spotted this delightful little freak. He could have just been a lil bit of something stuck to the leaf but I stared at him for juuust long enough that I could make out the antennae and legs. Very good disguise if I wasn’t actively inspecting every vaguely insect-shaped object on this plant.
