...it would appear that God has an inordinate fondness for beetles*

Last weekend a storm blew through at a rapid rate. It became dark and the wind picked up and I have to admit I was frightened. 

That didn't stop me from taking pictures though. Yet even while I snapping away, I had the feeling that something really freaky was going to happen.

Then I discovered all these black iridescent beetles on the milk weed. 

Sure glad they were dedicated to their plants!
