Handsome Fungus Beetle
Yes, I think it's the Endomychidae Mycetina perpulchra.

Cropping
This could use a lot of cropping. Remember that only you and the editors can see the full size image, nobody else can see the details.

I can try
It gets pretty blurry though if it's cropped much more than this...

Cropping not resizing
It has 2800 pixels or so in its larger side; it gets automatically resized to 560 in the guide. So cropping shouldn't affect the resolution. Resizing does that though.
