Much obliged
Thanks, Blaine! I tried to capture the width of the lateral black vitta in this photo as explained at https://bugguide.net/node/view/105782 to see if it was "no more than 2.5 intervals". When I zoom in, I count a max width of 5 intervals above the hind coxa.

I still have this beetle. Are there additional features that I can photograph to help with an ID to species? Or is this destined to be a Lema sp? Appreciate your help.
