Russett alder leaf beetle (Calligrapha alni)

Larose Forest

This beautifully coloured and patterned leaf beetle was sitting on a speckled alder. Those red bits are mites. At this time of year it is a common sight to see a wide variety of insects from beetles to dragonflies, afflicted with these creatures.
