A southern species with New Jersey at the northernmost part of its range, although that range has been expanding in recent years.
One of the so called "groundstreaks" this critter can most often be found down in the leaf litter. In fact the larval 'host plant' is rotting leaves. Another reason to leave the leaves.
This particular individual was hanging out on the screen outside my office. I spotted it while grilling steak for dinner. A welcome companion.
