Winecup Clarkia, Clarkia rubicunda

A Metallic Wood-borer Beetle, family Buprestidae, possibly genus Psiloptera.

What is it doing in the Clarkia? The larvae of this family bore into wood,
so it's not there to lay eggs; more likely to eat pollen and/or find a mate.


other sizes: small medium original auto
