I haven't seen this type of antennae on a beetle before. Any ideas what this might be?

New page
It is a new species for Bugguide, so I created a page and moved it. Great find!

I second that!
The only one I ever found was on an aphid-infested catalpa tree. They aren't very big, and easily overlooked or mistaken for something else. Looks like those antennae would make it keel over:-)

Cleridae: Monophylla terminata
A good catch. Known from MA, but not at all common up our way. Am interested in it if you've still got it.

I have it saved, and will keep it for you.
