Moved from Trichodes apivorus.
Pattern does not agree well with other images of the species.

Looks like a Checkered Beetle...
in the family Cleridae, maybe Trichodes. Then again, I'm no beetle expert, so I'm just taking a stab on the genus.

Too limber :-)
No bup is able to deflex its head/pronotum to such an extent.
