Here's a very nice blue beetle that I know nothing about.
Mindo, Ecuador #BlueBeetle.

Sometimes its just nice to appreciate without feeling like I have to know something. Pretty sure it's a chrysomelid (leaf beetle) but I'm not confident.

For #MothMonday ... here is a most agreeable moth, Spilosoma congrua (the Agreeable Tiger Moth)
