Here are my photos for today of the False Potato Beetle

I found this one on the side of my house on the brick wall.

The False Potato Beetle looks very much like the Colorado Potato Beetle. The line in the middle of the wing coverings is brown on the False Potato Beetle and the line in the middle of the wing coverings is black on the Colorado Potato Beetle.

You can find this beetle feeding on horse nettle, its favorite. Of course it feeds on potato plants and will also feed on bittersweet. The False Potato Beetle is not much of a pest but its relative, the Colorado Potato Beetle is extremely destructive.

I had to squish the side of my face on the wall to get this view and the one of its face.

This is a different one that I found on a Wineberry plant.

Thanks for stopping by!

All photos are my own.

This pretty butterfly gif is brought to you by @brisby. Thank you!
