Long Horned Beetle - Cicindela scutellaris
Deep River, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada
September 8, 2014
Size: Approx 1/2"
I wonder if one of your informed readers is able to put a name to this insect. please pardon the poor photo which was taken with a point and shoot camera. The beetle has bright colouring and flies low, about 6" to 12" levels during the time I observed it in a sandy area.

Thanks Ken,
That certainly pointed me in the right direction. Your photo is quite similar.
Cheers,
