Trio of Cerambycids on Trembling Aspen - Cyrtophorus verrucosus - Male Female
Pelerin, Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada
June 1, 2008
Although the photo does not show the ID characters very clearly, I ID'd them tentatively using Yanega as Neoclytus leucozonus. I thought the shot was interesting because of the behaviour. Any comments? Also, confirmation on ID would be appreciated, if it is possible from this shot...I guess they would also be new for the guide, so I will try to find a better shot or take one this spring...

Thanks again!
I had a look and it sure is another possibility, but there is that mark just visible under the front leg of the presumed female which still makes me lean towards N leucozonus...Also, N leucozonus is common and widespread here (many specimens), whereas E picipes would be new and is a "hardwood species that prefers redbud, hickory", which don't occur here naturally, but I wonder what other trees it can use. These main trees are much more common in southern Ontario and Quebec, where E picipes has been found to date in Canada. But, I still await a second (and third) opinion, especially given the partially hidden characters. I will do my best to get a better photo by June...

Cyrtophorus verrucosus (Olivi
Cyrtophorus verrucosus (Olivier, 1795). There are too many white markings for Euderces, and I don't believe there are any Neoclytus with the bumps at the base of the elytra.

Thanks!
Yes, that works for me too, especially given that it is a common species here. I hadn't noticed the bumps, but then I'm quite new at this group of insects. Much appreciated!
