Have you seen the handsome yucca beetle (Enoclerus spinolae)?

Yes, in photos/videos
Yes, irl

I've spent the last few minutes fawning over this cute little guy. Amazing choice.

A vibrant little beetle, seemingly mimicking a species of similarly small wasp from the family Mutillidae!
Bug of the Day
Look at this adorable little Clerid (Cregya oculata)!! Hard to believe he eats longhorned beetles for lunch, but ‘tis true! This species feasts on the larvae of both longhorned beetles and bark beetles.
Saw this little guy a few days ago. Not sure but i think it's a Trichodes alvearius.
#1529 - Blackburniella intricata
A small predatory beetle found in Victoria and SW Australia. This one was in Lakelands, south of Perth, but I’ve found it elsewhere too.
