Beetle - Graphisurus fasciatus - Male
Block Island, Washington County, Rhode Island, USA
July 17, 2017
At UV light in wooded area near Nathan Mott Park Pond 2. Image taken for Aaron Hunt.

Graphisurus fasciatus, male
I've added some notes on separating fasciatus from despectus under the 'Info' tab for Graphisurus fasciatus.

Moved

Moved tentatively; hope the specimen was taken, too
Moved from Beetles.

 
I wish.
Unfortunately, it flew away when I tried to add another specimen to the jar. Didn't realize it would be so jumpy.

 
frass happens
hope you see more of these
if it is what i think it is, it's worth taking --not too common a bug

putting a light-colored cloth or even a gutter, or both, at the bottom of the light sheet helps capturing those jumpy and jerky types
