Family Cleridae
Very small, as can be seen by comparing with my hand in the photo. Very nice color pattern. The shape resembles an ant, but it has wings.
Cleridae are a family of beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea. They are commonly known as checkered beetles. The Cleridae family has a worldwide distribution, and a variety of habitats and feeding preferences. (Wikipedia)
