I could not see the palps either but thought they could be tucked underneath. Thank you so much for the ID!

few people find these beetles and post photos of them on BG; every one is precious, and i thank you for your contribution: we had none of this genus so far. please look for more -- Don is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and we must expand this section. We will do our best to ensure you get names for your future catch! suerte, =v=

and will try to submit to BG ones that are not already represented by many images. Notice that this photo was taken in November, when things get cool and there is not a lot of insects flying around or seeping nectar...so desperately, I had to start digging in the ground to see what I could photograph.

i would love you to focus on debris/litter & various cryptic habitats year round, David! there are enough people who shoot whatever is sitting in the open, on flowers and foliage. However, many funny herbivores are out there who are small, tend to hide on their host plants, and aren't routinely observed. Anyway, go for tiny stuff -- you'll have much more chances to make exciting additions to the Guide, improve your collecting skills, photo technique, and --last but not least!-- make me very happy... :)

is what i believe to be the closest thing in the Guide
