Please re-crop & remove the borders.
Your images should not contain borders.
This looks like a male Trogomorpha arrogans. (south-central range?)

 
Thanks for the determination
Thanks for the determination Bob Biagi, it is most appreciated. I do not even know how to add a border so removing one would be out of the question. If you look at my other posts you will see I do not put borders on my pictures. You are welcome to trash this post because it has a border and therefore breaks the rules..

 
Maybe your software is adding it in.?
Correcting this is very simple. Here is a short breakdown for you:

1.) Check the original image on your computer and re-crop it, inside of the white border.
2.) Save this new image on your computer, with a new filename.
3.) Select "edit" on this image. (above)
4.) Browse to the new image that you just created.
5.) Preview and then submit, done.

Hi Bob, according to Apple Aperture will not place a border on a picture. If you want one you have to have a plug-in. I am confused at how a border got on it.

 
That's OK
Don't worry, sometimes new software can be a real bugger, haha. It may be a preference setting, but I'm not sure.
Just remember to watch for it, whenever you crop out images for your submissions.

 
Thank you for your help, I am
Thank you for your help, I am afraid you just need a better student (lol).

 
Yes - femaleā€¦
See reference here.

 
OK, I see now...maybe not
Ross, is it true that the males have an (extra) black band on the antennae, near the base of the flagellum. I think that at least one of the images may be labeled incorrectly. I thought that this was a male though. How do you verify the gender?

 
Gender...
The sheath of the ovipositor is extruded in this image, suggesting a female.
