Thasnks for the comment Walt. These bugs at times collect in quite large families. They have the high viz undersides which are just as eyecatching in another way.

Oh boy! I have been throwing around the term "topnotch" to quite a few very good photos both here in PF and on Flickr. So what term is left to describe this? Amazing. Stunning. What a moment to catch so perfectly!

I don't know what else to say!

This is the local beetle that has a similarly mirror-like iridescent exoskeleton.

A beetle similar but not identical to the one posted just above.

See the post by weevil on the next page to get some identification on this one and the near look-alike on my previous post just above.
