Bruchinae, - Acanthoscelides
Little Wall Lake, Hamilton County, Iowa, USA
December 5, 2018
November 26, 2018: looking for and collecting Walshia amorphella stem galls on Indigo bush, Amorpha fruticosa, Jimmie Thompson also collected fruit/seed pods, many of which already had emergent holes, bruchid beetles, Acanthoscelides
December 19, 2018: 2 bruchid beetles

These beetles have been ID'd from NE Iowa by G. Keeney as A. submuticus but he also stated "It's entirely possible that these two species do indeed "cohabitate" … but we can't know for sure until we actually find a definitive A. floridae.”


Batch pods confined.
