Red lily beetle on Queen Anne's Lace

Red Lily Beetle, criocère du lis, Lilioceris lilii, on Queen Anne's Lace flower. They are an invasive species from Europe that I haven't seen before.

Johnny Clegg, RIP

Johnny Clegg died today. I got to talk to him in Sainte-Foy after a concert around 1989. He told me how to say Cetshwayo the right way.
