anteriorly red-margined netwing beetle - Caenia amplicornis
Organ Mountains foothills, Doña Ana County, New Mexico, USA
August 9, 2006
Size: about 8 mm
This beetle is all fluff and show with a puny little body. The frond-like antennae remind me of Ca*enia and of Caen*ella, and this species may well belong to one of those genera (that is, if they are not in fact the same genus spelled differently as I suspect).
