specimen collected
After reading a few other posts I went out and collected a specimen of this TFB. I just need to find someone I can send it to for a lab ID. Any suggestions let me know. I'll check with those I know in IL.

Photos were identified by Mor
Photos were identified by Mordellidae specialist, Dr. Enrice Ruzzier (Dept. of Agronomy, etc.; Padova, Italy) as possibly Mordelistena divisa - for which there is only one on BG. If there is a particular feature I can photograph of the collected specimen let me know.
