Locust borer beetle and spotted cucumber beetle

The goldenrods still in flower were a magnet for insects of all kinds. Here there are two locust borers (long-horned beetles associated with locust trees) and a very small spotted cucumber beetle is clambering across the back of the much larger borer, to reach the enticing flowers on the other side. You can just see the second locust borer at the top left corner.
