Blast from the past Two-lined Leather-wing, Two-lined Cantharid - Atalantycha bilineata (syn. Ancistronycha bilineata, length 7.5 mm) Also posted at: <a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/3274" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bugguide.net/node/view/3274</a> References - BugGuide <a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/3114" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bugguide.net/node/view/3114</a> - Dillon and Dillon, A Manual of Common Beetles of Eastern North America (Row, Peterson, and Company, 1961), p. 264, plate 26(12) Photo taken with an early generation digital SLR, the Canon 10D (6MP sensor). If I was careful not to push the ISO, images from this camera were just fine! That Tamron macro lens was excellent--I only traded it in for a Canon later because it tended to get grit caught in the barrel as it extended. I believe this to be the first image of a living specimen of this species, at least the first one that was widely accessible. I identified it based on Dillon and Dillon's guide.
Spring beauty with bee Virginia Spring Beauty - Claytonia virginica These were just barely started on 5 March 2024. With pollinator--does not appear to be the Spring Beauty Andrenid (Andrena erigeniae), but I am not sure.
Leaf hider Putty Root - Aplectrum hyemale Foliage present mostly in winter and early spring, like the much more common Cranefly Orchid, Tipularia discolor. I cannot recall seeing so many Aplectrum in a clump like this previously.
