Elaphidion mimeticum
Victoria, Victoria County, Texas, USA
May 24, 2012
Attracted to light.
I'm sorry for so many pictures. But if I not mistake the ID there are not much pictures with this and I added all my pictures to can choose the best for BG.
Between the two sets of photos (those with brick wall on background and those with white on background) it is a difference of 20 minutes. I'm sure it is the same beetle, but a mistake can be possible. The pictures was take in night and the insect was agitated.
