Beautiful and beetlecidal - Enoclerus muttkowskii
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
July 9, 2006
Size: 12.5 - 13 mm
Here are the characters in the drama that was about to unfold: The region's most colorful species of Enoclerus clerid beetle that I spotted walking up the jamb of an open door, and one of four sap beetles removed from my windowsill bait station, which I had plans of photographing right after the Enoclerus.

btw, I IDed the clerid from an image in Marshall's "Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity."
