Dorsal shot
A dorsal shot showing the elytra would definitely be helpful

Sure!
Okay, I uploaded one that's closer to a straight on dorsal shot. Unfortunately I think that's the best one I've got where the whole elytra is in focus.

Location?
Wait, where is this beetle from? No Bluff City or Nevada County in Maryland?

Ooops!
Oh dang! I normally post stuff from Maryland so I think it was autofilled on my browser and I didn't notice! It's from Arkansas! I've fixed it now.
