BeetlesRed rover, red rover
You have a wonderful site. Can you tell me if this iridescent red beetle is a rove beetle and if it can fly? I’m writing a kids book and want to be sure to ID it correctly. Many thanks!

Hi Claire,
In the interest of properly informing children, who are often the victems of gross misinformation, this is a Dogbane Leaf Beetle, Chrysochus auratus.
