Alsof het 'hun dag' is, tientallen paren van de #RodeWeekschildkever (RhagonychaFulva, Common red #SoldierBeetle) aan het paren ('in copula' heet dat netjes) op de #Akkerdistel en de grassen.

A Common Red Soldier Beetle. I learned on the internet that it's a new invasive species here in Ontario Canada. Another on the list of things I thought we did something about, but we don't.
