The Bush - Part 13

This is a very small weevil.....
with a very distinctive spiny back but I cannot find it in any of my books.
This is one of he most colorful caterpillars I have found so I am keeping him in a bottle to try to breed out next summer and see what it turns into.
This is one of the Wild Potato Fruit Chafers. They all have the same spot markings on the back.
Are moths prettier than butterflies? They are certainly more plentiful and diverse.
