Another bicolored beetle under bark - Hesperobaenus abbreviatus
Ash Creek Trail, E Galiuro Mtns., Graham County, Arizona, USA
March 15, 2014
Found under bark - I think it was fairly small (I'm guessing about 5mm). I thought it was an Ampedus Click Beetle like another one found nearby with very similar coloration, but the clubbed antennae and different pronotum make me think more of a Checkered Beetle. Thank you for your help!
