actually it is B. trivittata
I just now happened to notice it among the Westerns. I think this one went to "Western" because it was from British Columbia, but it is from further east than the others, and even though on the Columbia River, perhaps comes into the province by way of Alberta. The "Westerns" from west of the Rockies are connected with populations in Washington to the south.

Moved from Western Boxelder Bug.
