I love ruteline beetles and this is one of Florida's native rutelines. They are easy to mistake for a june bug if you aren't looking closely. Rutelines play a cool role in the sequel to
Olivia Brophie and the Pearl of Tagelus. This one was attracted to a black light after a rain storm, along with about 100 others. It must be good luck of some kind to be surrounded by 100 rutelines.
