Male? It spent the whole time I had to shoot it, trying to get it's wings to fold back in.

I've received specimens just like this from San Bernardino Co, CA. It appears to be a color variant of C. ornatulus. The genitalia match well with the figure in Dhafer's 2009 revision.

Moved from Click Beetles.
