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.

Another blooming Betulaceae American hazelnut - Corylus americana (in bloom before leaves present) Based on glandular hairs on (many) twigs, this keys out to Corylus americana as opposed to the other possible species, Corylus cornuta (Beaked Hazelnut). Swanson notes an additional useful character not found in other sourcess--stems of staminate catkins in C. cornuta are stalkless, or nearly so, while those of C. americana have longer stalks. Swanson's figure also shows that staminate catkins of C. americana are much longer than those of C. cornuta, but he does not mention this in the text.
