Bug
I’ve been “stalking” this guy for a while now. I have seen him many times, but he has always been gone by the time I have made the effort to photograph him. (Although I have a vague memory of an earlier post on the same subject.) He is always in the same spot on this leaf; right at the base. Today he was just hangin’ out and I had a few minutes to grab my camera and take his picture. I think the plant might be a begonia, but I am awful at remembering what plants are called. Can anyone identify the bug?

Thanks so much. Jon
I have seen and photographed one of these before but never knew what it was!
I was trying to find out what this bug is since I saw the photo yesterday…thanks Sarah! This bug is outstandingly beautiful. Jon — I love seeing your work in these posts…you have such a wonderful take on everything you see. I am enjoying seeing the world through your eyes.
