BeetlesWhat kind of bug is this?
Hello Bugman,
My 9 year old daughter, Chandler, desperately want’s to know what kind of bug this is. She said she thinks it is a beetle, however, we are unable to locate it on the Web. She found it at a park in Jacksonville, FL. Please help, you will make a little "BUGOLOGIST" very happy.
Thank you,
Christine
Hi Christine,
We believe Chandler found a Virginia Pine Borer or Sculptured Pine Borer, Chalcophora virginiensis, one of the Buprestid Beetles, which attacks pine trees in the larval form and ranges from Canada to northern Florida.
