Other views?
Did you happen to take photos of other angles or maybe some close-ups? In particular, I'd be interested in seeing other shots of the pronotum. There are a couple species possible in that area. I think I know which species this one is, but I can't say for sure with this photo.

Brady,
My apologies for taking so long to get this photo posted, it took me quite a very trys to get one that is good enough, I hope... a species ID would be great!
