Thank you very much! I have a lot of unidentified bugs on my page, if you want to try.

I already got the conirmation of the genus by Margarethe Brummermann!! Uff! Thanks, Margarethe! But it is not the one from the link, although from Arizona as well. Cleridae are wellknown to be extremely tricky to ID, even by experts. So, we feel happy to have at least the genus...

I try to get more info...

Cleridae, Tillinae, Cymatodera sp.??? Just a shy guess... I take the risk of being completely wrong ;-)) http://bugguide.net/node/view/13105/bgpage?from=0
