Dicerca punctulata - Male
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
May 28, 2010
Size: Maybe around 11.5 mm?
This is the first beetle I have had in the family so I have no idea. Is it maybe Dicerca tenebrosa tenebrosa? I wouldn't be suprised if I was way off.

It is definitely Dicerca, but
It is definitely Dicerca, but I'd show it to Joshua Basham for a species ID. Cool find. I have yet to see find a member of this genus on my own. Do you still have the specimen?

Yes
I didn't know if I would need another image or if someone would want the beetle.
