Xestoleptura crassipes
a pair of flower beetles mating on a shasta daisy in my garden. They are similar to, but not the same as http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/146...
I can see that now. Still looking for the ID of the earlier one. It just wasn't quite right/color or pattern. Unless there's some dimorphism
Thank you, Mark! I'd almost forgotten about it. Been feeling a bit unsettled and spending more time with the pictures recently.
