Dogbane Beetle (C hrysochus Auratus)
Hi John and Jane,
Thanks for the reply. Right you are about the size. My error. Probably more like 1/2 inch or less. Great site of ID ing critters. I plan to use it again. Probably should invest in a field guide if I plan on continuing my field trips. Thanks again. Burt

Dogbane Beetle (Chrysochus Auratus)
Thanks Keith, Appreciate your reply. I've just started going out on photo field trips and I probably should invest in a couple of field guides. In the meantime this is a great site and there are some very helpful and knowledgeable people like yourself. Thanks again. Burt

Fortunately...
there are a lot of people here much more knowledgeable than I. This was a pretty easy one. Hope to see you around.
