I collected these two specimens in Southern Ontario near Toronto. I'm sure they are common species but I don't have any reference book to find what are they. Paul  |

The blister beetle on the right seems to be a Meloe species but I am not sure which one.

Paul I spent some time to try ID those two and thanks to advice I search bugguide.net which is really helpful with identification. So on the left it is Sylvanelater cylindriformis ( ID confirmed by Bandrow-thank you), Right: Meloe angusticollis. If this may not be correct please advice. Cheers Paul |

Tom,
The bugguide program sounds like fun. Whether or not I go depends on the status of the coronavirus & getting my wife's permission.
