Nice to see an Ant Beetle (Thanasimus formicarius) from under bark today (and put back carefully) #Coleoptera #Cleridae

A) One of 7,501 most parsimonious trees depicting the relationships of 92 specimens of Enoclerus nigripes and one E. nigrifrons (outgroup); black circles indicate nodes resolved in the strict consensus of the most parsimonious trees. Dorsal habitus: B) E. n. rufiventris (given as “black” in the tree), C) E. n. nigripes (given as “red” in the tree).
