Jadera haematoloma
5/8 inch long; blue-black above, pale blue underneath; abdomen appears to be reddish also appears to have long proboscis folded under body
spotted on dead sapling of cherry laurel
Looking back at some of my previous spotting, I believe I have mistaken this bug for box elder bug as suggested in the wikilink.

They're doing all kinds of research on these bugs!
