These pretty blue flea beetles (note the fat back legs for hopping) come to nibble my Passiflora incarnata vines. This one has hopped off the vine onto a clover plant (Trifolium pratense) while it tries to avoid getting its picture taken.

IDd by Richard Tehan. Further collection, documentation and ID pending. All growing from soil and immediately adjacent to wood. Extremely difficult to excavate the host, the first three broke against the wood, seemly indicating that the host was in or under the wood.
