Today’s photo is not mine but the bug kind of belongs to me 🙂
Do you remember the Ocotillo Borer from an April post? Well, I told my Landscaping School teacher, Rebecca Senior, about it and she asked if I’d give her a section of the Ocotillo stalk. She cut the stalk into smaller sections, moistened them and put them in a huge plastic jar and about a month later, this beauty crawled out one of the holes. She took lots of photos and I submitted some to BugGuide for ID. It is a Chrysobothris but no one has specifics yet. Click on the photo to go to the site and see more photos.
