Moved
Moved from Acmaeodera ligulata. Although the image is out of focus, the raised lateral elytral interval, which is characteristic of this species, can be seen apically on the left side. Also, the time of year (especially) and, maybe, the location is wrong for A. ligulata.

Acmaeodera liqulata?
This looks very similar to a specimen of Acmaeodera liqulata that I have. I'll try to send this along and see if it can be identified.
