Thanks Omar
and Eric. I'm surprised I've never noticed these guys before. Always amazed at how many things are overlooked in nature because we generally focus on a group of organisms that has a definite size scale - a birder is gonna miss alot of beetles and vice versa.

Bob
it seems like this beetle is often overlooked anyway. We dont have too many of them in the guide anyway. Again, your pictures are absolutely crisp. Thank you for contributing
