Going too fast

 I was going too fast on that last post. Trying to catch up.  Too many photos, not enough time.  In any case, I like these two better than the one I posted yesterday.  They both feature the Checked Clerid beetle, the above one enjoying a spot on the Showy Milkweed, and the one below exploring a cluster of blossoms of Brewer's Angelica. In both cases, I was looking for other species of bugs, but the Family Cleridae has many species that are as beautiful as any other beetles.
