Trichiotinus assimilis
This is the first year I have enountered this species in North Dakota, Trichiotinus assimilis. I've put some information up along with my photo. Very interesting species for the northern midwest

I just found one of these beetles in Minneapolis, MN. Thank goodness for the internet so I could find out what this odd little creature is named. :)
