Halloween Beetle - Fall Colors

Stayed home from work today to take care of Wes while Leah dealt with a touch of the flu. Hopefully Wes and I manage to stay healthy and not come down with the bug as well. I took the opportunity while they were napping to go out and take a few shots of a maple tree in the back yard that is just gorgeous. While out there shooting pictures of the blazing leaves, I noticed there were thousands of little bugs flying around on the tree and the shed next to it. I took a closer look and found this Multicolored Asian Beetle, also known as the Halloween Beetle. Seeing how it is Halloween today, I thought it only appropriate to post this shot...
