A repeat yard critter, and a quite common about the yard this year.
From single adults and young.
To groups of over twenty individuals chomping away.
This critter is one I see annually, perhaps because of its bright psychedelic color pattern.
As with most such colored insects, it no doubt serves as a warning to potential predators, as these critters have glands that can emit a foul brew of formic acid and acetones. Yucky for sure.
But cool to look at.
