Goldsmith Beetle - Cotalpa lanigera

Goldsmith Beetle - Cotalpa lanigera.
I found another one and this time I wrestled him to the ground and subdued him with small arms fire and hand-to-hand tactics then I took some more pics. I took some of the underside and from the back, since there doesn't seem to be much info I thought maybe these might be helpful. If you don't want to add them to the guide that's fine, I just wanted to get more on this guy than I could find and had the opportunity.

I appreciate it, it really means a lot. I still think I have a long way to go though.
But, I have learned a great deal from this site, not only about insects but photography also.
