Very impressive beetle & banner, Asa.

He/she has a look in their eye(s) as though to say, "What??!!"

Perfect shot Asa!

Great bug photo, great banner, and gone back to school (for me) on this one. We can always learn something very useful & interesting here in this forum; thanks Asa!

See you in the funny papers!

Beautiful beetle, I think I see them on goldenrod. I hope they aren't a huge pest to the locust.
Great pic!

Plant it and they will come.

Thanks, all. Seemed to be the perfect size/shape for the constraints of a banner. Not sure what it was doing on the sunflower. Like Sally mentioned, they're normally on the goldenrod.

It's one of several/many that seems to have evolved to look like a wasp or bee. I suppose to deter predators.
