Enoclerus lunatus

Enoclerus lunatus
Middleburg, Clay County, Florida, USA
May 25, 2011
Size: 6mm
I am comfortable with this genus but I have no key to species...

You missed my question before, do you have a natural photo, or can you use the beetle to take another shot? It would be better if we had an actual photo with natural un-doctored colors instead of filling the bug with pepto pink.

 
that was just the backdrop...

Thanks!
I would have never guessed that. It looked like you had filled the bug with the border color, but you filled the border with the bug! This is nice, thanks.

What happened to the color? It looks like you used photoshop to color-fill the border with pink and it filled the beetle, too.

references
(1)(2)

i strongly suspect you meant Enoclerus...
[that other one is a hydrophilid]
hope it's E. lunatus [would be great!] --but let's wait for the experts

def Clerinae......sorry

Tip - always use cut-and-paste when possible. Enochrus is not a clerid.
