Thanks bayucca! I am loving this site. ......I think I've found my new home! :-)

I think Laphria sp. as scientific name is safe! I will try to get a little bit closer, but this will take some more time, since I will meet some very important persons from Project Noah the next few days ;-)...

Thanks bayucca! All of these are very similar. It's hard to tell exactly which one it is.
