Moved from Beetles.

I won't profess to knowing the southern species well enough to place to species. Maybe L. collaris? The elytra appear non-metallic in the photo, but could be an artifact I suppose.

 
ID confirmed by T.L. Erwin: L. collaris

Lebia

I saw its cousin, L. fuscata, just two days ago
