Semiotus	germari, Jardin, Colombia I had zero hope of identifying this colorful click beetle, but soon came on the path of the Semiotus genus. I closely checked many reference images, and found only one that matches the particular square patterns on its chest:<br />

And that reference seems to be the only photo of the species online. So if my identification is correct, this would be the first photo of a live specimen. The other option is that I&#039;m way off :) Antioquia,Colombia,Colombia Choco & Pacific region,Fall,Geotagged,Jardin,Jardín,Semiotus	germari,South America,World Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
