Cantharide / Podabrus rugosulus LeConte (Merci M. Majka!)

J’ai eu la chance de découvrir cet insecte cet été. J’aime la texture des élytres (deux ailes dures formant une carapace qui protège les ailes servant au vol), la forme de la tête et les deux bajoues jaunes. L’arrière-plan n’est pas mal non plus... ;-)

This is actually Podabrus rugosulus LeConte. Note the distinct elevated lines on the elytra (absent in P. diadema) and also the elytral pubescence is very short and inclined whereas in in P. diadema it is coarse and sparse.
