My highbush Cranberry has been totally - and I mean totally - defoliated by this beetle twice in the last 3 years. They gave it a pass in 2006.
Where are you (and your unfortunate highbush cranberry) located?
Cheers!
Chris

Thanks, Chris! In the Irving Botanical Gardens in Wolfville we saw blackish larvae of presumably the same beetle on the partly devoured leaves of highbush cranberry earlier in the season, and I have seen moderate amounts of defoliation there in two different places (one in Gardens, other along adjoining Acadia Woodland Trails), but as far as I know, we have not yet seen nor collected any for the Museum collection.
The larvae are actually a pale color with many small black dots on them:

Look for adults on the leaves:

If you find some the Museum would be happy to have some specimens since at the moment there are no records from Kings County and I'm very interested in documenting the extent of this species distribution in the region.
All the best!
Chris
