Field Notes

Habitat:

A group of about 6 to 10 of these beetles were on a grassy dirt trail at an elevation around 5,000 feet.

Notes:

When trying to figure out the species, I found there's at least 9 species that look pretty similar.

He was fast Tina. I had to take quite a few pictures to get a couple decent ones.

Yes, agree with the genus, but cannot help with the species, too many similar around.
