Checkered beetle
Enoclerus ichneumoneus
35.9132, -79.0558
Field Notes
Description:
This beetle mimics the red velvet ant wasp (which is what I originally thought it was). Adult beetles look for larval or adult bark and ambrosia beetles to feed upon as they travel up and down tree trunks.
Habitat:
Wooded area
Notes:
This beetle was scurrying up and down a tree at a very rapid pace and as it was often in shadows, I couldn't focus so well.
