I didn't think this looked like a Christmas beetle, it was only about 12mm and much straighter than Chrissie beetles I've seen.

As it looks dead an underside shot would have been useful

It was alive, but I didn't think to get a shot of the underside. If it's useful with scarabs I will try next time.
