I just discovered your wonderful website while I was trying to identify the mating beetles sharing the thistle with a Black Swallowtail. The picture was taken last summer just out side Madison WI. Are these a Pennsylvania leather-wings?

Hi Bill,
You are absolutely correct. The mating Pennsylvania Leatherwings are common beetles found on roadside flowers, especially goldenrod.
