Unknown Clickbeetle (Elatridae)
7 miles from Westmont Idaho, Bonner County, Idaho, USA
June 6, 2018
Size: Approximately 1 cm
I know that this picture will get Frassed but I need an identification please. The Click beetle has golden markings on its elytra that are faint and hard to see unless in light. this species is fairly common in northern Idaho and extreme Western Montana where I've been collecting and can be seen throughout most of the months of the summer. If anybody has an identification please help thank you.

If you can take a directly overhead photo that will really help. Blaine should quickly ID it. Oblique angles like this make it really hard sometimes to ID a species.
