Gold-and-Brown Rove Beetle - Ontholestes cingulatus

Found this guy as I was picking up after the dogs this morning.
After I picked up his "breakfast", I went back out and found him
on some mulch under a tree. Really cool bug with that iridescent
yellow abdomen. It glowed and looked bioluminescent in certain light.

This is an outstanding shot! I have seen these guys but your shot shows them in a whole new light, I can actually see details I missed before. They are beautiful with that iridescence. VV
