Where'd you
find this cool beetle? Under rock, by ephemeral stream, crawling on hardpan in a creosote flat?

Bostrichidae.
This is a bostrichid beetle. I thought for sure we had existing images of this species in the guide, but no, yours are the first! I can eventually get the species for you unless someone else here beats me to it....Got it: Apatides fortis. I'll create a guide page.
