The locust borer beetle is native to North America. It attacks only black locust trees of the genus Robinia, which originally grew only in the Allegheny and Ozark mountain regions. Locust borer larvae tunnel into a tree’s trunk and branches, weakening the tree and making it susceptible to wind breakage. The brightly colored adults appear when goldenrod is in bloom, generally mid-August through October. I captured this one in my backyard in Rockaway, NJ. I used a Nikon Coolpix L110 digital camera.
I’ve always appreciated nature, but I didn’t show interest in photography until digital started to come into it’s own. I had many cheap cameras over the years, but when I got the Nikon D3100 for my birthday last year, I really started to realize what photography was all about. I’ve had such a blast learning on the go over the past 10 months. I’ve gotten shots that I could have only dreamed of a year ago. I hope you all enjoy my photos, and by all means, BUY SOMETHING! =)
