Checkered beetle - Enoclerus rosmarus
Vienna, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
June 4, 2010
Size: ~ 6 mm
It looks like Enoclerus rosmarus(1) except for the lack of black stripes in the middle. Is it still Enoclerus rosmarus?

from Jacques Rifkind:
"looks well within the range of pattern for E. rosmarus. There's a similar, related species called E. angustus from VA and FL that has the black pre-apical dot reduced to a narrow border, and reddish abdomen."
