Thanks Eric, I can see where this recent import gets it common name.

Neomochtherus pallipes female
Neomochtherus pallipes female. This species is a fairly recent introduction from Europe -- so far known in the US only from Massachusetts (where it was first found in 1981 by Norm Woodley of the USNM). Excellent find & photo.
