handsome little click beetle - Conoderus bellus
Hollis, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
November 2, 2005
Size: 4 mm
I often see tiny brown click beetles and normally pass them up. However, I've developed better techniques for closeups of small beetles, so I decided to try shooting one. To my surprise, it had a fascinating color pattern that I had been unable to see in the field. It held still, cleaning its antennae for several shots.

Haven't searched yet
When I have so many to tweak and post, I often don't take the time to search for ID myself, hoping someone else will recognize it by sight. I guess the short answer would be No.
