Texas Beetle IMG_0844_1
I will change the name. John/Jane I just looked at a ruler, per your thoughts Harlequin Beetles are larger. Yes, let me change my estimate to 1/2 maybe 5/8". This Harlequin was on a tree limb that had some substance that looked like honey smeared in the crevices that the World Butterfly Center puts out bait for insects and birds.
Thanks for instant ID reply.
