Photos from Bedford, VA
These photos were taken in Bedford, VA on Tuesday July 10, 2007 at roughly 7:20 AM. I have no clue what it is, as I have never seen it around here before.

(Just in case the vowel in my last name didn’t show up properly, it’s the letter “O” with a macron (straight line))

Hi Bill,
This is a wonderful photograph of an Ivory Marked Beetle, Eburia quadrigeminata. Adults are attracted to rotting fruit and according to BugGuide: “Larvae bore into heartwood of deciduous trees, esp. ash, hickory. May emerge from finished lumber years after milling.” Sorry, our software added a space in your name that does not exist to accomodate the macron.
