BeetlesGrapevine Beetle?
Hi it’s August here Ottawa, ON. This guy flew to my porch light late one night. I was wondering if its a Grapevine Beetle? Thanks

Hi Scott,
Yours is the second image we have received of what looks like a Grapevine Beetle, but instead of the usual cream/yellow coloration, the beetles were a rich cordovan red. The other beetles were also from Ontario. The Audubon Guide states that the coloration of Pelidnota punctata ranges from “dull reddish brown to brownish yellow”. We suspect there is a local color variation in your area of Canada.
