John Muir Laws Beetle

This is a copy of a drawing from John Muir Laws' book: Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada.
A really great book with over 2700 drawings in it of plants and animals up there in the Sierras.

This is the Elderberry Beetle, Desmocerus auripennis (female). It is red and violet. cool!
