| I had never seen this bug before. I searched online and decided it was a "Cobalt blue milkweed beetle". But then I realized, it was just out West, and I'm in central Indiana. Any ideas what it is?

| It looks like an Ambush Bug (Google image it) eating some sort of blue leaf beetle. The Ambush Bug appears to be at the 2 o'clock position relative to the blue beetle in the photo. Ambush Bug good; blue leaf beetle bad. |

| Gosh....I didn't even see a second bug! I guess I thought that brown was just something dying on the dill. May I ask why blue leaf bugs are bad? |
