A very small black pintail beetle, approximately 4mm.
On parsley flowers in suburban garden.
Only 2 species of Tomoxioda are known here. This one has a common name of 'Black Pintail Beetle' - how imaginative.

Yes I got the spotted one the other day and were surprised to find maybe 3 or 4 total... will check it later.
This has wings and will be an adult.
I believe there are only a few different species in this group.
