Hi Jeannie & All,                Aug 13, 2006

    The insect is a Buprestid Beetle [Metalic Wood Boring Beetle], probably
Buprestis sp.



    The shrub looks like Viburnum cassinoides [Withewood] but the
fruiting cluster is usually erect and these seem to be pendant. As the name
suggests this shrub is unusually pliable and, with a bit of working, a round
stem about 8 mm across can be bent in a 10 cm diameter circle.

Yours truly, Dave Webster, Kentville

Hi everyone,

While at my cottage I photographed a few things. The first being some sort
  of bug (which I think I've seen before) I was wondering if someone could
  tell me what it is and if they bite. The second is a tree we have growing
in  our yard...right now the berries are green but they turn blue in late
  summer( fall).Last,  is a small frog.It looks big in the first pic taken
  close-up, the second I photographed it next to a dime for size 
comparison.If
  someone could help me with ID's I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,Jeannie
