Thanks Karen, I thought they were really cool too :) Great, thank you Gordon, I really didn't know where to start with this one. Thanks :)

This looks remarkably like a North American net-winged beetle and I suspect it is closely related. Try searching on Lycidae and see what you come up with. Gorgeous beetle! Very nice photograph!
