This week we will observe as a cereal leaf beetle attempts to cross a half-inch gap on a tree stump! The feat might not live up to the hype of the title and previous sentence, but for those who appreciate little things in life, it’s a tiny bit impressive.
Although they are very colorful, cereal leaf beetles are considered an agricultural pest. I didn’t know this at the time, otherwise that might have been this beetle’s last stunt. I’ve only seen a couple this year, so that’s either a good sign, or it means there are no cereal crops in the backyard.

Do you think you know what this is? You can write your guesses in the comment section below. The answer will be revealed next week!
Is this a wheel for a car? No tire on it yet????? 🙁 Maybe not!
That’s the right shape, but this is smaller.
That’s pretty fun about the cereal bug! What an adventure for him! 🙂
