    No. Seriously. Saw this thing early this morning. It was quite torpid in the morning chill (54 degrees F when we got up today). Initially, we couldn't see any legs, although it looks like it has four(?!?). Otherwise, it looked Beatle-esque beetle-esque. ;) It's about 8 mm long.

    As the morning warmed, it got more mobile, and its tiny yellowish legs became more obvious as it moved.

    What the heck is it?
    Any of all y'all know?

    Alternatively, I'm looking for a good on-line photo ID for bugs/insects/small critters with exoskeletons -- and ideally not a phone app, since I didn't take the photos with my phone. :#

    For those that can't make out the info in the photo, this is a type of "Tortoise Beetle"

    I believe you/Google got it.
    I (ahem) also asked AI.
    That's ayyy* eye, not Al. :p

    Googlage suggests the clavate tortise beetle.
    How could I be in my seventh decade and have never encountered one of these before? :o

    I'm only in my 6th decade and this one is new one on me......I just don't like it, this thing looks like it's going to morph into something way worse.

  • Saw this in the magazine listed below.

    Polk Forum has a member in the Texas
    town. I will not list the username, but if he wants to acknowledge he can.

    I wonder if there are any other members in these four towns.

    Guilty as charged.

    The Eiffel Tower is located by the convention center. There is also a pretty cool veteran’s memorial there.

    As to the other pictures, The Grand Theater is the movie theater I went to as a child/teen. There have been talks of renovation, but nothing official as far as I know.

    Sundae in Paris is a great little old fashioned soda shop. Across the street is a good burger joint called Jaxx. More than burgers, but they have some unique burgers that are really good. Eat at Jaxx walk across the street to Sundae in Paris for dessert….then head to my house for some tunes😉
