It’s hard to believe that there would be a rove beetle adapted to saguaro bacterial necrosis, but the coloration on this one is quite a coincidence if it isn't!

Catorhintha texanaObserver
cwd912nbDescription
I have seen specimens in the Genus Catorhinta on or near my house on five previous occasions, ON each occasion, the question "Is this C. texana or C,. selector has come up. Three have been identified as C. texana; the other two simply remain at genus, Jason Botz is quoted in BugGuidenet as follows: "[C. texana] can be recognized by the narrow yellow band at the apex of the third antennomere, along with a slightly wider look to the abdomen and a more orange-colored connexivial stripe. https://bugguide.net/node/view/1131911. Here, the connexivial stripe does appear noticeably orange and several of the pictures show the light (very light) yellow antennna band clearly. I believe this to be C. texana.

cowpokeamericanaDescription
Found nymph at locality, looked like species I'd encountered before that can't be ID'd until adult so raised at home, will return to locality later this weekend. Please let me know if this needs additional/better photos for ID. ID based off this key and antennal length (I photographed the genitals but admittedly cannot tell which of the two it would be).

whateverwatcherDescription
Found dead on a dead tree. Must be winter!
The underside had a translucent look and some concentrated orange coloring, best seen without flash (photo 6). Idk if post-mortem decay or some evidence for the cause of death. Interesting that its tongue is extended and so perfectly centered.
