Red Milkweed Beetle on a Stem

Red Milkweed Beetle on a Stem
What a gorgeous little beetle! I had to laugh because it was playing the game of "Hide Behind the Stem" with me...as I moved around to get a side or back view, it would move around the stem to put the stem between us. I'd try one direction, and then I'd try the other direction...what a dance it was! I think anyone who could have seen me would have died laughing! :D
