A selection of Beetles

[Gerel]

Hi all,

A few beetles for ID/confirmation

1. Found today on hazel, Calvia quattuordecimguttata ?



2. Again, found today on hazel, a Cantharis sp. , possibly C. pellucida



3. Another nettle weevil, Phyllobius sp. but which?



4. Another soldier beetle, I saw several of these on larch trees.

Hi Steve,

#4 Rhagonycha lignosa, I had it a week ago and again tonight on the window.

1 & 2 are both correct.

[Gerel]

Thanks both,

the red on the thorax of the C. pellucida was incredible in the sunlight, the pic doesn't do it justice.

Looking at this thread I'm sure someone on here will remind me what this is, I'm sure I used to know but it's lost somewhere in the grey matter that used to be my brain.

Hope you don't mind, Barbara

Hi Barbara,

I'm fairly sure that's Rhagium bifasciatum, a longhorned beetle. They're a fairly common sight in these parts.

Thanks for the answer Gerel, I should have known it might be a kind of longhorned beetle.
