Crossidius punctatus ~ male

.
I found this specimen at the same location as the specimen linked below; but more than a month earlier in the season. There were a number of these beetles on the flowers of a species of rabbit brush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus). Each beetle had a slightly different pattern of the orange and black colors on the elytra.
