Close!
This is actually Anatis labiculata. The much larger size is the first difference. The second is the pronotum pattern, which is much darker. The head pattern in Olla v-nigrum is mostly white with a short black jagged margin, not black with two white spots. And finally the marking pattern is much stronger than Olla v-nigrum, which rarely has a third row of markings.

Great photos!

Anatis labiculata
Thank you so much!! I'm no entomologist but I am a wannabe! I've never seen this particular beetle before. I appreciate the help. Not sure how to add this to the correct photo/genus
