Checkered Beetle? - Pyrota punctata
Alamogordo, Otero County, New Mexico, USA
August 30, 2010
Size: 16 mm
I found another one this am (didn't get a picture) that I measured and it was 22mm. These beetles seem to be everywhere here.

Pyrota punctata Casey -- det. J.D. Pinto
so it's a much better one -- thanks again, Racquel; i wholeheartedly share Jeff's appereciation of your work.

Moved from Pyrota concinna.

Moved tentatively -- and unlinked [diff. individuals!]
Moved from ID Request.

 
Sorry- I didn't even notice
I linked the wrong images together. I have the other shot of the one next to the coin. Should I edit this post and put that image up instead?

Again sorry, I have never made this mistake before. If this happens again, (which I hope it doesn't) you can always email me. I hope you understand this was an honest mistake, the ! feels lik I am being scolded. Perhaps I am reading too much into it though. Anyway since you said you unlinked them, perhaps I should leave it this way? Just let me know and I will take care of it.

Thanks

 
scolded...
Yah right, when these are only the second and third pics of this fantastico beast.

Great recent postings. Keep up the great work out there!!!
