Please find someone else to bother
If you don't know the species of this beetle, please go police someone else. I'm interested in helping people identify what's in their home and not debating which fields are required in a post. The fields in the ID request form are not marked as required, except for the "title" field. Have a nice weekend!

Your rude comments are ncalled for...
V belov is the one person who is probably able to give you the right ID. Location is extremely important identification of a species, I've known this with cicadas and this is certainly of even greater importance for beetles since they are so common and many species are very similar, only to be separated by distance. We will help you, but only when your attitude is worth trying. Just for the record.
