Lampetis webbii

Lampetis webbii. This species has a more polished look to the elytra with the depressed spots more or less distinct from one another. L. drummondi looks rougher and has the spots arrange in confluent, irregular bands. Both species have been recorded from AZ.

I wish there were more large

I wish there were more large bups like that here in the East. We are limited to Chalcophora and Texania and they don't have the bulk of these or some of the other western genera.

Nope

Look at Lampetis sp. There are a couple, so I'd hesitate to put a species on this. L. drummondi is pretty common though

Common?

Where do you look for them, then?

Where do you find?

I have no idea. Ken and Jake actually spotted it, simply in a roadside composite (maybe a Brickellia sp.). When disturbed, it dropped to the ground.
