Hi Leanne,
Sorry, I can't think of what kind of beetle that might be. Possibly it's a species we don't have here in eastern Canada.

Kirwan, you could send a photo to the email address that I have a link to at the bottom on my photos. However.. and this is important! Be sure that the photo file you send is no more than 200 or 300KB. At the moment, I'm renovating an old house in Nova Scotia and my only net connection is one of thos modem stick things. I have to pay for every bit of data transfer and the transfer rate is quite slow most of the time, so I don't appreciate receiving big 1 MB or larger files as they take forever to download and cost me money. If you can send a small enough file, I don't mind taking a look at it, but depending on your area, I may or may not have seen the beetle before. regards, bev

I am trying to find out what kind of beetle I have found and can I send you a picture of it? I first saw them on my grape vine leaf about three years ago and this year I found them on my pine tree in the backyard.

I didn't exactly see the beetle that is infesting my neighborhood on this site. My beetle is orange and black. Their are thousands hanging in my carport and are coming inside of my house. What exactly are these things?
Thanks

Hello, same as Vancouver below. Found a rather large dramatically banded beetle with exotic banded long antennae. All black and white bands. July 15th 2009. Victoria BC.

Thanks for the Ids, "v".

a few corrections
stink bugs (mating) -- Cosmopepla lintneriana -- stranded among beetles

"probably Carabus nemoralis" = Carabus nemoralis
"Rhyssematus" = Rhyssomatus [spelling]
Red-blue Checkered Beetle = Trichodes nutalli
Cleridae -- Checkered Beetle (?) = Trichodes sp.
Poplar weevil -- no ID = Lepyrus palustris
brown-black-beetle.jpg = Anomoea laticlavia
Cleonis shown as "Euparius"
Megalodacne sp. = M. heros
"Cantharis curtisi" = Rhagonycha fulva
Click beetle #2 = Ampedus sp.

post your catch on BugGuide.net for identification!
cheers,
=v=

I think I saw the same beetle you were talking about, with black and white stripes. Mine also had long "horns" as well. It was the biggest beetle I've seen. It fell on my daughter while we were outside. I am trying to figure out what it is. We are from Wichita, KS

I also found this beetle (july 14) that has several black and white stripes.
Anyone know what this is? found in Vancouver
Brittany 14-Jul-2008 22:04
ok so I found this beetle with these weird black and white stripes along its back and it has horns like things plus im positive it is not from our area. I do not know what it is but i think it is a beetle. what do you suggest it would be?
midori 06-Jul-2008 21:37
the beetle i found is brown with white stripes and furry antanna ( i forgot how to spell it)
midori 06-Jul-2008 21:33

Nice selection of beetle photos,
But couldn't find the one I'm looking for
Black with Red stripes...they are eating my Radishes,
normally radishes repel beetles ?
