Some of these can be very confusing at times and if I am not careful, it would be very easy to give a mistaken identity to some critters.

If you look at the beetle above and below this, you can see how similar the markings are and yet they are two different beetles.

The third one below also has an almost identicle patterns but at least the rest if him is lighter in color and is easier to tell apart.

The next two can be quite similar to the untrained eye......

yet once again, they are two totally different beetles.
