Chauliognathus pensylvanicus
With the continuing growth of community-driven, digital nature observations on platforms like iNaturalist, entomologists and other scientists are tapping into that store of knowledge to make new discoveries. A new study shows the potential for photo observations to answer species-specific behavior and ecological questions, such as the flower preferences among two soldier-beetle species, Chauliognathus marginatus and Chauliognathus pensylvanicus (shown here).
