Click Beetle Lacey (near Olympia), Thurston County, Washington, USA April 26, 2008
I usually limit myself to 2 pictures per specimen, but I couldn't resist on this one. The first one shows where I found this little critter: hiding up in a dandelion. Wouldn't come out to have its picture taken until I blew away all the fluff. Next 3 pics show it opening its wings -- the third pic actually shows the venation in the underwings. The last one was just to show mouth parts if that helps at all.
