Dogbane Beetle
I’ve been trying to take a short walk in the neighborhood each day. Ten to twenty minutes of fresh air is very rejuvenating. Megan and Ethan came along on the last one. And while I was photographing a damselfly, Megan announced she had found a shiny metallic bug. “And it’s not a Japanese beetle, either!” she said.
We have lots of dogbane, which is a member of the milkweed family, growing down by our fence. (Not on purpose, it’s just a hard weed to eradicate.) This is the first time I’ve actually seen the beetle. It’s pretty, don’t you think?

I couldn't comment on your other blog, but just wanted you to know I understand the feeling, having just gone through home health care and hospice care with both of my parents. I hope as things get coordinated, it will be a help to you all without adding more stress.
You are in my prayers.
Hugs,
Betsy
