Bug Eyed Looney
I was beginning to go bug eyed looney but I finally found what I was looking for on the beetle image page #1960 at bugguide.net Go ahead and laugh, I had gotten up to page 1950 when I suddenly got a bug up my behind and then went to the last page (2575) and worked backward)
Good thing I was using a photo or my specimen might have been squished long before I made an identification. I admit that after looking at 1000s of thumbnail images I was getting frustrated. Sometimes a stubborn streak is a positive attribute 
Flower Longhorn Beetle – Strangalepta abbreviata
The following love bugs were easy. I had already identified one a couple of weeks ago.
6 Spotted Tiger Beetle – Cicindela sexguttata
I’m done for the day. I just don’t have it in me to start the fungus frustration routine of trying to identify the multiple specimens I found today.

These are great bug pictures. I’ve been watching bugs a lot recently too, trying to get a few shots that look almost as good as yours always do.

You are good to complete a photo session with 1000s searching on their ID.
