Moved from Strawberry Rootworm.
Thanks for catching that, I have no idea why I moved it there.

Are you sure?
It looks a lot like Diachus auratus to me, especially because of the humps on the shoulders, because the thorax is not much thinner than the abdomen, and it is the right metallic color.

Brachypnoea puncticollis
you found one too, there was just another entry for this species which is not yet in the guide
The small size, smooth edge of pronotum and antenna distiguish it from Rhabpoterus
puncticollis has elevated schoulders and punctures more or less in rows and is some more elongate than the commoner B. tristis

this one doesn't look like the other on this page
Rob IDed both as B. p., but this one has striae, no elevated rib back from the shoulder & otherwise looks very different. So i think it's this one that doesn't belong here. (Tom just posted another one)
