Red-necked False Blister Beetle



4.15.12 Which benefits more - the insect or the plant? Plants are a source of nourishment for insects and in return, insects assist in the pollination of flowers, one step in the reproduction process. The Red-necked False Blister Beetle (two of them on the Trout lily) and one cruising the leaves on Wild oats, feeds on pollen and leaves of herbacious plants and is a pollinator of these spring ephemerals.
