Nemognatha or that other genus - Nemognatha
Monahans Sandhills State Park, Ward County, Texas, USA

Size: 1.0cm
The piercing mouth part is visible. I think Nemognatha and some other genus of Meloid have this character but I don't remember how to seperate the two out.

Nemognatha.
Your ID is correct. That long "tongue" is pretty disctintive.

hmm
is it possible for me to move my own photos to different taxonomic levels or is that something only editors can do.
