Can anyone ID this tiger beetle?
Nolie

ID'ing beetle
Wondering if this is a common beetle found here in BG though the ones I see actually are much rounder/wider.

As a new Bug Guide suscriber I don't know how serious users have to be so at the risk of upsetting folks I apologise in advance.

Yes I can ID this fellow, his name is Cyril and he keeps visiting my fruit trees!

 
I see...
Do you have any photos of Cyril to share?

metallic beetle
June 2011
Yes, I spotted two of these iridescent beetles among some bark mulch
under a Bradford Pear early this summer. Still wondering who these shiny guys are

C. sexguttata
Sexguttata often sports an extra macula per side. So that's my best guess.
