A troupe of Agave Snout Weevils have killed both of my variegated Agave Americanas. The scenario was just like I learned in my desert landscaping class. By the time you see the brown spots and then see the holes, it’s much too late.

Red Soldier Beetle
The best and most fun part of this Spring has been identifying flowers, plants and insects for my photo a day. This beetle turns out to be a common Red Soldier Beetle (Rhagonycha fulva). Not so common to me but maybe they will be by this time next year. They apparently really like to eat New Mexico Thistles (shown) and find it a good location for a love connection 🙂
