See Spot Run [Poppies]
Uploaded: February 08, 2012 03:55:45
...or as fast as a spotted cucumber beetle is capable of... :) It didn't take long for this little guy to find my newly-purchased poppies and help himself to a lunch of fresh pollen. (A little more warming up in Central TX and I can start planting!)
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday - make it so!
