This is one small and pretty beetle at 4.5-5.5mm (1/8-1/4in) long and is difficult to find in the field. This one was attracted to my moth trap. Double-click for a closer look.

I love the yellow tips of the wings–they remind me of the tail lights on a car. 🙂 Cool-looking insect, Pete.

Another nice photo with great detail. What is the material it, and the wasp in the other post, are sitting on? Some sort of moss?

Thank you, David. Yes, it is moss which I have growing in a plant pot.

Attractive beetle. At first hurried glance I thought it to be a moth until focusing and noticing its entirety.
