Beetle - Heterocerus mollinus
Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, USA

I believe this is in the genus Lapsus. I have a couple of other photos of this beetle that were ID'd to Lapsus, but this image, just shot, has better lighting on it. Any species for it? Thanks.

Hard to tell
It doesn't look like Heterocerus fenestratus (synonym of the only species of Lapsus Pacheco). Looks more like Heterocerus mollinus.
