Hi Con, You are getting the ID of these two beetles back to front. C. curtisi has the red carapace while C. juncta (this sighting) has the curved dark patterning on its back. Good photos though.

Thanks, Alison. It is not the only thing I am confusing, ATM! Getting there! Your help is much appreciated.

That's okay. My knowledge greatly increased while making my own early postings (and still get things wrong). CNM is a great learning tool.
