Handsome Fungus Beetle - Lycoperdina ferruginea

Bethlehem, Coos County, New Hampshire, USA
October 10, 2005
Size: 5mm

It looks like it might be Rhanidea unicolor. Any help would be great.

Eggs?

Looks like yours has some eggs hanging on it too.

I didn't even notice

but now I do see something on it's leg and on the elytra.

right family, but ...

Rhanidea unicolor - see also here - probably not it, but closer ...

Handsome Fungus Beetle

I agree, it's close, but not quite close enough to be either species. I'll place it by family. Thanks for the help Phillip.
