I have only seen one, but have not seen anything like this before. Maybe he just landed for a rest. I had posted to the pests but received no response. Maybe you can help. I look at Iowa States bug site but did not locate this one. I find the stripes of the under belly interesting and the little rectangles on the back.

| I am not sure what kind of bug this is, but I have seen them in my garden the past couple of seasons. I haven't witnessed them being destructive thus far (thankfully). |

| Thank you for that information Top! Good to know it's a friend and I'll leave them to copulating and eating. Today I have about 2 doz of them all over the liatris. Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature. - Gerard De Nerval |
