Downy Leather-winged Beetle (Podabrus pruinosus) on Jun 5, 2021

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

I think it’s a blister beetle

Commentary

Dear Brad, thank you for your submission. This is definitely not a blister beetle but a beetle from the family Cantharidae, commonly known as soldier beetles. This specimen is likely from the genus Podabrus, probably P. pruinosus. Thank you, Helmuth
