i knew i was missing out on something by not being a fisherman...
leatherback beetle? is that the same as an oak borer? would they be that large?
thanks for the response...it's at least a bit closer than the only other one i've gotten so far from a guy who says: "the one on the right reminds me of martha."
i'm pretty sure i just went through this search a while back when somebody brought in a pupal case - and it does seem to me that the identification of that turned out to be an oak borer - but, i seem to have not only forgotten, but apparently forgot to write down what the final determination was on that, as well....
oak borer in a walnut tree? i know things are getting squirrely in the bio world these days, but....
how about another option? got any more?
thanks, mike.
