Iridescent beetle - Bay City, Michigan

Iridescent beetle - Bay City, Michigan
Bay City / Euclid Linear Park, bay County, Michigan, USA
July 7, 2009
Size: 1 cm - 3/8 inch
This iridescent beetle looks like a Dogbane Beetle found in the guide. This is the second one I've found in the last week. One out by the Saginaw Bay, one in town. This one was on a milkweed plant.
