Hi Alison
This does not look like the Ditropidus pulchellus you ID'd it as, and I've done an "Undo".

This appears to be called Aporocera (Aporocera) jocosa (Chapuis, 1875) in ALA, I've been unable to verify that the name is correct. In Chris Reids thesis' the names Aporocera [Rhombosternus] jocosa Baly on page A 10 and Aporocera (Aporocera) jocosa Chapuis 1875 on page B 39 appear, the names in brackets are subgenus names. I've not seen a description of these beetles and will leave it to the experts to sort this out.

Thanks Ken
If in doubt of the species we could definitely ID it as Aporocera sp. (genus)
