Index of Subjects --001a11c3712e36e6f705004da3e2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sorry cannot help with the click beetle. The long-horned beetle (Cerambycidae) is *Brachyleptura rubrica*. The larvae feed on decaying deciduous trees. Adults feed on flowers, as do many species of lepturines. This is not a very commonly collected beetle in NS. As usual a reference to BugGuide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/23143 A more common black and red lepturines on flowers in Nova Scotia is *Stictoleptura canadensis*. They differ in the banding pattern on the antennae and the fact that *Stictoleptura candadensis* is longer and thinner on average. Larvae of this species feed on decaying coniferous trees. This is a very common beetle in NS. I found one on a Queen Anne's Lace flower here in Georges River yesterday. From BugGuide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/26740 Sorry no common names. BugGuide uses Red-shouldered Pine Borer for *S. canadensis*. But it does have an all black form that would not fit that description.
