Moved from Conoderus bellus.

Moved from Frass.

Let's keep this image for now. There is a noticeable difference in the pronotal patterns of some of the FL populations, with the macuale broken to look like smiley-faces. At some point I'd like to investigate to see if this is a regional difference or possibly a new species/subspecies.

I have two more of those for you when you get here next month. One
with the "U" shaped macula and one w/o. Also have 43 others for you
(so far).
