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.

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.

One day I'll have a much more cleaned up version of this published. But the Enoclerus from my thesis are pretty straightforward.

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

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