Paracotalpa Beetle

Paracotalpa species

These shiny beetles come in a couple of varieties in the areas where we worked in the spring. You have the ones with black elytra like this one, and there is one with rich mahogany-colored elytra as well. Both have variable metallic blue to metallic green parts as well.
