Milkweed Borer vs. Milkweed Beetle?
Hi everybody, I'm new here. :)
I have several photos of a red beetle (example here: http://www.toomanythoughts.net/milkweedborer.html ) that I *think* is a Milkweed Borer, but in consulting several books and websites, I can't figure out how you tell the difference between a Milkweed Borer (Tetraopes femoratus), and a Long-Horned Milkweed Beetle (Tetraopes tetraophthalmus). I want to label my photographs accurately, and I'm finding this one a real challenge. Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks!
