The bug that we saw was more elongated and thinner then the one= in the picture. The abdomen was the same size as the rest of the body=2C = but pure orange. The orange section was larger then the rest of the body= =2C with head and wings which were pure black. In my earlier posting I sai= d the size was about one inch=2C but it was actually closer to an inch and = a half in size. =20 =20 Sincerely=2C =20 James =20 =20 Date: Mon=2C 20 Aug 2012 06:27:16 -0300 Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Wasp/Beetle? From: dbmcc09@gmail.com To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca One possibility is a broad-headed bug (Alydidae). A common species in old = fields in Nova Scotia appears all black=2C until it flies. Then the bright = reddish abdomen is obvious.
