dark soldier beetle - Rhagonycha tenuis

dark soldier beetle - Rhagonycha tenuis
Mt. Washington, Coos County, New Hampshire, USA
July 5, 2007
Size: about 7.5 mm
I guess the head extends out far enough to be Podabrus. Taken by sweep net from herbaceous flowers and foliage during a break from my Forest Service-approved search for Py*tho str*ictus.
