tough; may be inteeresting but need sharper pix to show around
also, looks much larger than the indicated size
please keep in mind that size data only help if measured in mm, otherwise the field is better left blank; estimates are useless for identification purposes, and more often mislead than help
Moved from Beetles.

.
I don't have a sharp picture. The beetle was moving all time.
I added another picture, maybe it can be better guessed the scutellum pattern. I do not know if helps.
I added a picture to show I estimated / measured the size. I put a ruler near the insect and take a picture. Trying to be as possible a right angle relative to the plane defined by the ruler and insect.
Then in the computer I can measure / approximate size on the photo. The ruler is in mm.
If the ruler is too far from the insect, error increases. I try to bring closer ruler, but some insects don't accept it.
Possible to be around 6 mm in size, but I think I don't have a much larger error in estimating the size.
