Envious
As usual, I'm envious Lynettte. My camera hungers for one of these beauts.

Yes,
I must admit, I got quite excited when I saw it! Even my daughter was excited over this one.

Careful:-)
Calosoma willcoxi looks nearly identical. This ID (C. scrutator) is probably correct, but just wanted to suggest caution in assigning IDs.

Thanks,
I had no idea there were other ones that looked like this. These are awesome looking! This one was about 35 mm. Big and beautiful.
