Subject: Soldier Beetle on Peony bud, Rhaxonycha carolinus

Location: Upshur County, West Virginia

Stock Number: 05-7585

Comments: This is a springtime species that is most often found on the flowers and the leaves of various hawthorns. The species' devotion to hawthorn is not exclusive, however. The beetle shown here was visiting a big, spherical peony bud.

This species was formerly known as Cantharis carolinus.
