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.

E. umb Dimpled Trout Lily - Erythronium umbilicatum Parks and Hardin This is the common lower Piedmont species. Erythronium americanum is also present at this site, but less common, and mostly(?) blooms later, I think. Extracting a bit of Weakley's key, the two can be differentiated: - Petals (inner tepals) lacking auricles at base; capsule and ovary distinctly indented (umbilicate) at apex-->E. umbilicatum - Petals (inner tepals) with auricles at base; capsule and ovary truncate, rounded, apiculate, or beaked at apex --> E. americanum References - Porcher and Rayner, A Guide to the Wildflowers of South Carolina, (Univ. of South Carolina Press, 2001) p. 175 - Weakley, Flora of the Southeastern United States (UNC Herbarium, 2020), pp. 220-221
