Mating Goldenrod Soldier Beetles

You have imagined that these mating Goldenrod Soldier Beetles are eating your garden.  According to BugGuide, their diet is:  “Adult: pollen and nectar of fall flowers, esp. goldenrod (Solidago)(2); larvae feed on locust eggs, insect larvae, cucumber beetles, and other Diabrotica spp.”
