SeasonalityLate May through mid September. IdentificationMaculated individuals are easily recognised. The dorsal surface is black usually with 4 or 6 orange spots (a few individuals may have 2 or no spots). Ventrally, all abdominal sternites have lateral orange spots. Immaculate individuals may be distinguished from the larger (usually) immaculate B. lyrata by the orange spots on all the sternites. Examination of the male genitalia is also diagnostic. Beetles range from 13 through 18.5 mm with a mean size of 15.4 mm (n=37). males tend to be slightly smaller than the females.
