I would like to use this picture
for an identification guide that I am writing on the leaf beetles of the Mid-Atlantic. Do you want me to license you in any special way?

Can you email me
and provide a little more information? Is this a free online guide or a print book? Do you need the original photo or just what you can download from BugGuide?

I can just get the photo off BugGuide, and it will probably be a print book.
