Description
One of a series of pictures of Immature Mesquite beetles I took pruning my Mesquite tree in Tucson in spring of 2004.
The Immature tag is indicative of the age, about teenage, in this case. The mature bugs are solid black!

What perfect camouflage; took me quite a while to spot him. Great shot.

Thats actually their name??? So its not enough for them to be gross bugs...they have to be disrespected as well by having a name that calls them immature? LOL. What a funny little fella, ive never seen anything like it before. Beautiful capture. Have a great weekend. #:O)
