Brown, Red and Black Beetle - Nemognatha cantharidis

April 2, 2008

pronotum
I think the shape of the pronotum (narrowed apically, and sharp posterior angles) makes this one a blister beetle, perhaps similar to . But I'd wait more someone more certain.

Yes!
I'm sure that's it. I'll wait to make sure there aren't others in that genus that look similar.
