And I can't figure out what it is. Google is not helping me today and showing every possible red beetle there is, but none look like this one.
Found it in a bright location with tall pines and some lower shrubs few weeks ago. It is about 1 cm in length with black head and thorax and orange-red outer wings.
Notice the spots and dimples.
Ugly, nasty thing nice bug :)
Also, does any of you know a good site that helps with insect identification? Would be cool if it was showing some suggestions after uploading a photo.
