Found trapped in pine pitch oozing from the base of a large, recently-felled pine log at a logging operation. It was alive when I found it but possibly smothered by pitch by the time I got it home. No matter, I would have killed it with a couple orange-rind solvent baths to clean off the pitch. I then scrubbed it down in water and blotted it on a paper towel for the photo shoot.

The skirt-like tergite visible beyond the elytral apex causes me to suppose this is a kater*etid, a group that used to be lumped under Niti*dulidae. Although I normally boost contrast and shift color on my photocopier-lens closeups to correct for lens color distortions, I went overboard a little on this image to try to accentuate the pattern on the elytra in hopes of a better ID.
