Identify please. Beetle? - Boisea trivittata
Lebanon TN, Wilson County, Tennessee, USA

Size: 1/4 to 1/2"
While weeding I noticed lots of tiny moving creatures. There were literally dozens of them. Most match this photo but one was more black with a little orange. Maybe the different sexes?

Bug or Beetle?
If the wings form an "X" on the back, you have a bug. If there's a straight line down the back, it's a beetle.
