A somewhat rare, as per BugGuide, beetle. This one came to our mothing sheet in May.
The website, American Insects, does not even show it as being in New Jersey.* And BugGuide has only three images from New Jersey, including mine.
You might think that given all the free time I have these days I'd have gotten around to this critter much sooner. I think that too. But here we are in October. I have just way too many pictures to get to.
And I would not have even paid attention to this beetle if not for Ann-Marie Woods pointing out the critters hitching a ride on this beetle. Thanks Ann-Marie.

* I sent them an email to update their range map, and they replied that it is now on the to do list for the site.
