Your letter to the bugman: I’m thinking this is a male Glow Worm Beetle that is…
Zarhipis integripennis?
How you want your letter signed: Bomberojohn79
Dear Bomberojohn79,
The Western Glowworm males pictured on BugGuide have orange legs. We actually believe this is a Firefly, Pterotus obscuripennis, based on this BugGuide image, and according to BugGuide: “comes to lights in spring/early summer.”
The post Firefly: Pterotus obscuripennis appeared first on What's That Bug?.
