   These are great! Thanks for showing there’s more to New Mexico than dirt and tumbleweeds. 🙂

   I saw that same blue beetle when I was near Cimarron, NM last summer.

      This is Gibbifer californicus, sometimes known as the Pleasing Fungus Beetle. The elytra can be black, pale blue, or bluish purple.
