The False Potato Beetle looks very much like the Colorado Potato Beetle. The line in the middle of the wing coverings is brown on the False Potato Beetle and the line in the middle of the wing coverings is black on the Colorado Potato Beetle.
You can find this beetle feeding on horse nettle, its favorite. Of course it feeds on potato plants and will also feed on bittersweet. The False Potato Beetle is not much of a pest but its relative, the Colorado Potato Beetle is extremely destructive.
Are you looking for a caring community where your creativity and imaginatiom can run wild? A place where you have the opportunity to win prizes for your participation? Are you looking for support or for a place that you would like to support? Then head on over to the Freewrite House and have some fun.
I like the 5th photo best!
ROFL!!! Here I was thinking that you finally liked looking at one of my insects and when I counted down to the 5th photo I cracked up laughing. How am I ever going to be able to look at that wall without laughing now?
That is a real problem to be sure, but what about me? I've had to go to trauma counselling.
HaHa! Mayne I should try trauma counseling for my fear of spiders. Let me know if it works. LOL!
So sorry for the late reply. I have been sick.

Hi @bambuka! So happy that are here! Thanks for your entry. : )
My pleasure, @whatisnew!
Glad to visit you :-)
Yay thank you!
You have many interesting looking bugs where you live...I’ve never seen false potato beetles before.
It looks like a sunflower seed :)
My pleasure @djynn! : )
I love the bugs we have and when I think I won't see a different one I get a nice surprise.
A sunflower seed that you would surely not want to eat. LOL!
What a cool little beetle, great shots of it
I love this beetle too. I was happy that it wasn't on a plant leaf swaying in the wind while I was getting these photos. LOL!
Yes that was fortunate it was sitting in a spot not so affected by the wind
That’s a cool beetle...
thank you for the recognition!!

It is the neatest looking one I have seen. Glad you like it too @karbon! : )
My pleasure! : )
I first tbought it is Colorado beetle, when I saw the first photo. I could easy be mistaken.
I made a post and I saw that I have wrongly put the first tag. Again I made a mistake. :-)
It is about time to check my eyes and change the spectacles. So I add the correct tag and here it is:

Sometimes you have to look closely when identifying insects.
Oh, those darn tags! LOL! Thanks for your entry @nelinoeva. : )

Very interesting and cool Butterfly! You sacrifice alot to get us great shots!
I swear she only does it to discombobulate me so she can sneak in and win the zapfic contest while I'm still suffering brain freeze and heart failure. She doesn't know you know I know she knows I know, so mum's the word!
lol! howdy deirdyweirdy! So THAT'S the deal, it makes sense and I'll never tell!
What a beautiful insect, he goes so good with the wall!
You got real eye to eye with this little guy! lol
Awesome photography @whatisnew! :-)
Look out I got a spider lol
Wait! Is that spider crawling down into my comment?
Oh oh good thing he is a gif and not a gift! lol
Good thing I am not particularly afraid of spiders! 😁
OMG! You just had to put a spider in front of me! I am petrified of spiders. Heebie-jeebies! Thanks for your entry @shasta...I think. LOL!
Oh no! I did not know that!! Good thing it's a photo
and not the real deal! They are nice still subjects here.
The ones in California were fast and big, they were
very scary!! Petrified spiders now those are cool
in amber and stones! :-)
Petrified spiders in amber and stones would petrify me!!! LOL!
Congratulations @shasta! You won 1-SBI for Week 24. : )
Thank you so much ❤ @whatisnew!
I surely don't want to petrify you! :-)
What a cute little beetle!
