Leatherwing beetle with milkweed pollinia - Chauliognathus marginatus Oak Ridge, Anderson County, Tennessee, USA June 12, 2007 Size: 1/2"
I caught this leatherwing beetle on my milkweed flowers, note the yellow pollinia on its' feet. It was having a hard time walking from flower to flower with so many of the pollinia hanging from it!
