trimaculata is a suspect, imho
it's a widespread sp. that ranges rather far north, to SD
just saying... might be anything :]

nice adn apparently distinctive one -- i wish i had a clue
general colour pattern somewhat similar to Copidita quadrimaculata, but that's just another trick to humble nosotros gestalt-mongers

i noticed that too
very similar pattern to Copidita; i thought i had a copy of Arnett's Oedemeridae revision but i cant find it, but i must be thinking of something else :/
