Dibolia Flea Beetle

Dibolia Flea Beetle

So, I caught it out of the corner of me eye, feeling as if I was seeing a black shiny seed bulldozing against a white snowy background.  I approached with caution, only a bit of digital amo left, and my legs were tired from the long journey from my car to the wall.  I bent down camera affixed, and snapped the shot of this giant femur beetle- and then the beetle, did flee.  Later, I was caught in my own perplexing world of semantics, when, I decided to post this here post, without edit, and according to the laws of the escaping beetle.  I shall flee after this post.  But first, you must look at the FLEA beetle, with its enlarged hind femurs, for jumping as they do, confused they are- in their Coleopteran clan, envious of the Syphonopteran side-kicks- those fleas- that move by on the back of a canine, the transporter, their own Order to boot, and blood is their booty.  But still, this is classified as Tribe Alticini- the Flea Beetles that jump like flees with their enlarged hind femurs, most certainly a species in the Genus Dibolia.  Spcies unknown at this time.  A jump back to reality for those caught in this Arthropodological predicament.  Peace out Fleeing Flea Beetle.  NG.
