Rainbow Beetle (Tarpela micans)?

Not 100 percent on this one, so ID is tentative. Found at the disturbed edge of a dense mixed forest.

Looks like a good guess to me. Was it headless, or just shy? Posted 6 years ago

    Ooohhh, I didn't know it was deceased. Poor, pretty beetle. Hopefully it had a nice life :)

        You are definitely a goober, but that has nothing to do with it ;P. Posted 6 years ago
