I decided to walk around a bit more, looking for other insects. I found a few. The white thing was a surprise. I've never seen anything like it. The beetle was easy to spot though it was small... perhaps 1/2" long. It looks like it had been chomping on the edge of the leaf it was standing on.

Front yard safari
After getting home from the office this afternoon and grabbed my camera and macro lens I trotted out to the garden in the front yard. The first two pictures below are of (I think) a "hummingbird moth" which I discovered on the blue irises. With it's largely clear wings, it was actually quite camouflaged. However, I couldn't position myself to get a good angle. I'm not sure what angle would have been better, but I don't really like either of these.
