Husum, Klickitat County, Washington, USA

Size: 7mm
Thanks Will - I located the specimens of these individuals in my collection and photographed them for you. I can see what you mean by lack of information on the live photograph. Hopefully these shots will make your ID much easier. I am very interested in wood-boring beetles and hope to learn more about the species at the wetland. Many Thanks!
