I'll save this one for Peter. I think the other one from 2007 was the year before I started saving them for Peter.

 
I would love to confirm the identification
of this potentially new photo-voucher, It would be the first "Acupalpus hydropicus" in my synoptic collection of North American Carabidae. This is about the only Acupalpus species for which I do not have a representative specimen. Thanks in advance Tom.

 
Voucher specimen
