Posted by John Fulton -. Leatherwing beetles, or soldier beetles, have been with us a short while â they seem to gather particularly where linden trees are shedding pollen. They look like pale lightning bugs, but don't have the light.These beetles are elongate, soft-bodied and about 1/2 inch long. Colors of soldier beetles vary from yellow to red with brown or black wings or trim.A common and easily-spotted species is the Pennsylvania leatherwing, which is yellow with one large black spot on each wing.
