Insects again

A few more bugs in the garden today. These were all on coreopsis plants. Not sure what they like about coreopsis in particular, as I didn't see them on anything else.

Some kind of beetle. I've found it is very difficult to identify any given bug, unless you have an idea of what it might be.


At first glance I thought these were Colorado potato beetle. I am glad I didn't smash them. They are Ladybird beetles (Ladybugs) Paranaemia vittigera.


THIS, however, is a three-lined potato beetle (once again, I think).
